My friend with a green thumb says they will bloom in the month they are planted---so if you want it to bloom in Dec. start a new one from a cutting in Dec. Guess mine will bloom in June--we'll see.

I have never heard of or seen a white Christmas Cactus. I have three pinks. One in bloom and two others about to bloom. My largest is 55 years old! A neighbor gave it to me in 1956. I would love to see and have a white.

Sounds like a lot of use have cactus.The bigger they get, the more they are "show stoppers" with many,many blooms.

Both my pink and red plants are also blooming now.


Speaking of huge plants, a local hospital here in Portland had a very, very large plant in one of their solariums/visitor waiting area. That plant had to be 4 feet tall and very, very full in all directions. I was never there during the bloom cycle but I'm sure it was breath taking. As you can imagine, the stand the large pot was on was fitted with locking casters.

I have two that never bloom-maybe I don't talk to them enough?

They are beautiful! Any tips for someone that has never had one but is getting one?

I have a white one and when it opens I will send a pic, because they have a very soft pink at base of the bloom

My pink cactus is in bloom also. I was told it is a thankgiving cactus, not christmas. Christmas cactus have different shaped leaves.
