How to Grow CHRISTMAS CACTUS for lots of Flowers - Schlumbergera (subtítulos en español) 2023

Christmas Cactus and its holiday brethren, the Thanksgiving & Easter Cactus, are some of the most fun indoor succulents to grow. They produce elegant overflowing growth and colorful flowers in the winter.
This video is dedicated to growing Holiday Cactus with a special feature on how to induce reblooming tendencies so you can enjoy more than one flush of flowers throughout the cooler months of the year. #christmascactus #schlumbergera #succulents #houseplant #holidaycactus

    I use the term holiday cactus to refer to all three different cacti that grow and bloom under similar conditions: the Thanksgiving Cactus, Christmas Cactus, and Easter Cactus. The plant used in this video is in fact a Thanksgiving cactus, although many would be quick to identify it as a Christmas cactus. All three require similar care for optimal growth and blooms.

    Mine bloom ever year and here is my secret, I live in zone 7b, they love spending the summers outside. It rains or I water more often and plant in cactus mix not a potting soil.. to make sure they drain well plant in orchid pots. leave them out on cool nights until the temperature starts to drop below 40. Shorter days comes natural, once they're moved inside they start to set buds.

    I put mine outside on covered porch all summer so. Move to garage for a few weeks when it starts to freeze out. The buds set then I bring it in and it blooms Christmas and again in spring.

    I've been blessed with my Mother's Christmas cactus that is over 60 years old. Mom worked hard for decades to get it to bloom and as far as I recall, it never did. When she turned 95, we brought her (and the plant) to our home and without knowing anything about it, I stuck it in a room filled with lots of direct light. It bloomed for a couple of years and Mom was thrilled!!! After Mom's passing, we moved out-of-state and the plant only bloomed once. I greatly appreciate all this wonderful information, because I am hopeful, that with the right light and fertilizer, it will bloom again; if for no other reason than just appreciating the memory of Mom's face when she saw it bloom previously! I don't know how long to anticipate this plant with live, but it's got a whole bunch of miles on it already!

    That is wonderful! I have gotten a cutting off my husbands Aunt who actually was 98 last year and still going strong. Got it about 25 or so years ago and the dogs eventually knocked it off and so I made starts and still have one that I am hoping to start quite a few. We have a north facing porch with some eastern exposure which they seem to enjoy. I had used a mix of African Violet and cactus potting soil with a bit of smaller rocks from pea size to Concord grape size (1/4”to 1/2” roundish) its now in a north facing window and is blooming now Feb 18, 2022. Third time and I honestly have not been very regular as we were living in a house that we are still finishing. It’s quite wonderful to have this plant as his aunt is a wonderful person and hers is seriously an oldie! She has shared it with many! I will share and I also will keep one I start as I would be heartbroken if I lost it for good.

    I remember my grandmother’s huge Christmas cacti spilling with gorgeous blooms, and was given 3 beautiful plants this past summer. I loved your presentation, and there were several things I was unaware of. I did feed my cacti in the summer, brought them inside the day before our first freezing cold night, and they live in front of an east facing window. I fed them a small push of a SeaGrow 0-26-26, plus a 4-6-2 fertilizer a few weeks ago. I’ve got 2 blooms forming on one of the 3 plants, and I’m super excited. I’ll put your tips into practice going forward. Thank you, thank you!

    I came across your video through the random serendipity of KZread. After watching the video I read a lot of comments and was intrigued by how many of them described a plant that had been passed down from a mother or grandmother. Some of the plants are over 100 years old. Well, I also have a Christmas Cactus that my mother had in a shady patio for decades before she moved to Northern California to be near me when she was in her 90s. She brought the Christmas Cactus with her and gave it to me to take care of. It has only had a few blooms since and looks very ragged. My mother passed away about 8 years ago … at the age of 104 … but her Christmas Cactus is still alive in spite of having none of the conditions or care that you recommend. I am so glad to have learned from you how to bring it back to the glory it once had.

    I have an heirloom plant from my maternal great-grandmother that has salmon-colored flowers and another from my paternal grandmother that is pale lavender. Both have long, tubular flowers that resemble diving birds, very graceful and delicate. I don’t see this style in garden store nowadays.The first one has to be around 100, the other is probably 75. I rescued a cactus from an elderly woman who couldn’t care for it anymore and its flowers are carmine red and rather short-lived blooms but it will bloom twice a year. Then I have an orange one, and a hot pink one, and a cherry-pink one. Question: regarding the 100 year old plant, it produces more flower buds than it can bring to full flower. Many drop off before reaching maturity. You advise us to reduce watering during bloom time. I am experimenting with watering just a bit every other day or so, thinking that the buds were drying out and unable to make it to maturity. This *seems* to be working, although I did trim branches during the growing season to try to encourage branching, and to give away to friends. this may be a factor in a much heavier and longer lasting bloom time this year. If you have any thoughts, I would love to hear them.

    Used to buy these from K Mart after they lost their flowers for less than half price. Many hybrid versions, I used a home made Cymbidium mix. As I remember they were grown by growers in Half Moon Bay in Northern California. I put 3 plants in 8 inch plastic pots, I live in Southern California and had them outdoors under shade cloth. Scotts Super Bloom was my go to fertilizer for all my blooming plants.

    This is the best video I have seen for every step of care of the schlumbergera! You made it very clear and easy to follow and understand. For years I could not get one to bloom. Then I finally found a place that has plenty of indirect light and enough warmth and it started blooming several times, usually Thanksgiving and around Easter. In the winter, I would put it in my shower where it is in the dark most of the time. (It didn't get much water.). When it started budding, I would take it out again. I think I can take even better care of them now that I have better rules! Thank you.

I have 3 cats and my neighbor has a cat, they are all about the same age, 3 years, and they love to "play" with the blossoms. So, I wake up in the morning and find branches and blossoms scattered around the house. I stick them in water, root them, and put them in small plastic pots and take them to my local food bank where they are a big hit. I have to keep my more precious plants, like the one my sister gave me about 30 years ago, high up to decrease the temptation of these little monsters.

    This information is so useful! Even though I live in a subtropical climate in the southern hemisphere, your explanation about flowering and care make so much sense! I've had mine in the wrong part of the house getting too much hot westerly afternoon sun. I know where to move it to now and hopefully it will start to look a whole lot healthier! Thank you so much.

    Great video! I learned alot. Thanks for sharing your info. with us. UPDATE: on 6-10-23 I gave cuttings that I had planted into a pot, to my daughter. The mother plant is very healthy, so I am hoping that its offspring will be the same. I love this plant, and in the late fall and winter I always get nice flowers from it.

    End of March here in Western Colorado. Put my CC in the pantry for the winter, cold but plenty of sun, didn't water much. Last week buds popped out all over. I was shocked. Gave it a drink, moved it to kitchen window so I can enjoy the flowers. Did not plan this at all but so happy. Love your videos.

    Devini was gifted with a beautiful red outdoor Xmas cactus.it floured twice ... before it started to decline. I allowed a caregiver to repot ...she first cut in half themcame back and tore the half apart... Ian trying to keep two sprigs alive. I never thought of bringing it inside. My shaded west balcony may get too warm... I’d like to buy another don’t see them here in Hi.
