I have a potential tenth tip and a personal story. I've heard/read that when propagating a christmas cactus, that it's good to pot it in a mix of the original soil from the mother plant along with new cactus mix. Same goes for repotting the mother plant - keep some of the old soil. I'm not sure if it matters but I had a lot of success doing it that way (never once had a failed cutting). When my grandmother was getting too sick and forgetful to care for it and after moving to a nursing home, I was given her huge, ancient christmas cactus (which I now think is actually a Thanksgiving cactus because of this video!). It had been kept alive for many years but wasn't properly cared for. I cut it way back, propagated cuttings, allowed them to establish through her last months, and gave those new plants to family members to remember her by when she passed away. The first Christmas she was no longer with us, the mother plant bloomed like crazy and it made me feel like, in a way, she was there at our celebrations. I still tear up when I think about it. Yeah, it's just a plant, but I'm glad we all have a living piece of her to nurture and love for hopefully many more years.

I have two in my bedroom under fluorescent plant stand lights that do the same thing. They have been blooming on and off all Spring, Summer, and Autumn, and right now one has so many blooms I can't believe it. It has been unusually cold here in Southern California so I think that is why they are blooming so well. I am afraid to repot them when the Winter is over as whenever I repot plants a lot of them die. My Christmas Cacti are way past the point of needing repotting though and I will just have to do it.

My Grandmother got a Christmas cactus when she was 15. Over the years she took care of it and it grew so large that she ended up splitting it multiple times. Our family now has 4-5 (not 100% sure how many as they are spread out over aunts, uncles, and cousins) and while not all of us are great with plants these things have lasted for so long. My Grandma is now dealing with memory loss and once she passes I'm sure the cactus's will be a good memory for our family. The plants are over 50 years old.

I have a christmas cactus which was on the counter at a church sale. Poor thing was dying. I got it for $1 . Took it home, in order to replant I had to break the pot it was in ,it was all root, no dirt. I was able to save two branches of it. I repotted it and happy to report it survived. I have had it for 14 years now. It has moved twice with me cross state. I have transplanted it 5 times into larger pots, it now lives in 3, 14inch pots each one standing just as high. I do notice they grow better when they are next to each other, Mine will start to bloom in late October and will bloom right thru mid July. I do get apox 100 blooms at once, on each plant ,when they fall off there is another ready to open.They bloom like this thru July. My mom had a christmas cactus which only gave 3 to 4 buds a year. I am very gifted by this plant and the blooms it gives me, it is so beautiful. Thank you for this video, I will now look for the other cactus plants.

I found the perfect spot in my home for my Thanksgiving cactus. It starts blooming around November 1st and is filled with big blooms. The blooms last 2 to 3 weeks and then starts again every 3 weeks or so and keeps it up until Spring! It is in a upstairs cooler room facing the East and every Spring I set it back about 6 feet from the window and then move it back to a foot from the windows in October. It is about 10 years old. I keep it setting on a bed of pebbles with water in the bottom but not up to the bottom of the cactus pot. I also have a little humidifier running in the room in winter months.

I have one large Thanksgiving cactus blooming now that I've had about 4 years. One small one that was very small when I bought it last year that's yet to bloom. My Christmas cactus I thought was going to bloom and decided to have a growth explosion instead. I bought one labled "Summer Cactus", which I had never heard of before, earlier this year. Turns out after watching this all the way to the end, it's an Easter cactus. I've had segments break off before and stuck them in soil, but never had any luck with getting roots. Remembering a trick my Grandmother taught me, if I drop the ends in water I get roots forming in about a week.

I've been growing mine in orchid substrate, and the cactus seem to love it. Their roots don't get bound up, the water flows through really well. I think it might replicate their natural environment better than cactus mix. I've had great luck with this so far, although I've only been doing it for less than a year. But I got blooms from two of my three Easter cactus (first time they've bloomed since I bought them about 7 years ago.) My Thanksgiving cactus is a very reliable bloomer, so I don't know if this change of potting material will affect it or not. A big plus with this medium is weight. The pots are a lot lighter than they were before, and as they are hanging plants, this is a plus!

Maybe you keep it where it gets light (like your electric lights) in the fall when it needs more hours of darkness. It won't bloom without more hours of darkness. Here in New England where the days get shorter in the fall, I keep my plants in rooms where the lights are not going to be on at night. It's funny, but in our living room where the lights are on late, the ones I keep there will not bloom on the side of the plant that faces the room, but they bloom well on the side that faces the dark window, as these are kept on a window sill. When the days get short, they want the same conditions.

This was very useful information. I had no idea I was doing many things right or that these plants would live so long. In fact I had no idea, there were 3 different types. I do believe I have both a Thanksgiving and a Christmas cactus. I put both outside during the summer and they grow like a weed. The one that blooms in November gets tons of flowers and seem to do just fine. The one that blooms in December gets a totally different flower. Sometimes there are a lot of them. Other times not so many. I have no idea why, I treat both plants the same. This year when I put the Christmas one outside, I cut it back and started a new plant. This was in June. Well, the new plant bloomed now, in November and it only had one bloom. Maybe I cut it too late. The parent plant grew Hugh, but I see no sign of blooms on it. I don’t think it’s going to bloom at Christmas. I don’t have a lot of sun, but have had the parent plant for about 10 years. What I like about these plants is when the rest of my garden is put to bed, I can still have beautiful flowers. Maybe one day my great grandchildren can enjoy the plant.

The so called Christmas cactus it's very easy to take care of. Actually most cactuses are. ..very forgiving and easy to propagate.

Camelia Cristofaro surprisingly my Christmas cactus did better when I lived in Alaska than here in Sacramento. I think it was because of the winter light issue.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if I have a Thanksgiving or Christmas Cactus, and now I do. Mine bloomed around Thanksgiving, and it's still blooming as of now. It's an easy plant to grow as long as you don't over water the plant. Will try propagation after the flowers stop blooming. Thanks for the tips.

I have mine in an east facing window, year round. The only change it gets is when it starts blooming I bring it into my living room so I can enjoy it more. It blooms like crazy every year and will usually bloom in the spring around May as well. I have never heard of putting it in the dark and will continue not to as none of mine have ever needed that. I have moved twice and gave my plants away both times or I would have 20 year old plants.

Great tutorial, and as I just bought one, I'll see which one it is. Had no idea that there were Thanksgiving and Christmas and how many also consider the Easter cactus as one of the family. This help me so much. If anyone can help me with mine, as I got one many years ago, and didn't know how to care for it so it sadly died. But I have a beautiful pot, believe it's porcelain pot that my new cactus will look beautiful in. She mentioned clay pot, but has anyone potted theirs in anything else but clay pot??

I really liked that you spoke quite fast and transmitted a lot of information in a short amount of time. So many presenters of info on KZitem videos take so long and I keep thinking "please get to the point." Perhaps you could talk about how to deadhead a Xmas cactus. I can find no info on that aspect of care of a xmas cactus. I have one now that has many new blooms but quite a few "unsightly' wilted blooms. Some of the wilted blooms have buds on the same stem so I hate to cut the whole segment back if there are still new buds present. I have ended up cutting back the wilted bloom because it resists being pulled from the end of the stem. Any suggestions?
