I have bought these with buds and moved them all over the place and they kept their blooms… I guess once you acquire or your cactus drops blooms due to moving, then you know it’s time to keep them in one place. May Gods shine His Grace upon you as well! Hallelujah!

Great video, I keep mine on the patio and turn the lights off with a huge black umbrella

Your holiday cactus are so full and healthy looking! Beautiful!

Thank you so much for suggesting a BOX LOL I saw a you tube video where he covered his cactus with a black plastic bag which had an elastic my mind could not think of anything else so when you mentioned a box I hit my head and said yeah 😂😂😂hahaha most help. And I will not water in October

Thank you for sharing your plant care system🙏

thank you for all your tips .

Thanks for the information I just purchased my very first Christmas Cactus. So glad I found your channel. Thanks for letting me know that the flowers will fall off because of the new home. Glad I won't think I did something wrong, Blessings to you

Hi Amy . Thanks for the great tips your Thanksgiving and Christmas cactus always look beautiful. Take care and may the Lord keep you in His tender care. Shalom❤️🙏🏻✝️😇

Thank you for sharing, The Lords Blessing on you also!!!

Each year I review your instructions. Thank you. During Spring,Summer I attempt to propagate with poor success. I will hold hope for good flowering this year.

Great video thanks! I live in western Pennsylvania. I just today brought my Thanksgiving Cactus inside because the nights are going down to 40°F. I've had it almost a year now. It bloomed white last year. Anyhow, I put it in the cooler dark basement this evening and I already see very little white circles forming on the tips -- naturally -- just from the cooler temps and less natural light outside. My basement is unheated right now and unlit. I have it in the only window which is south facing. No watering in October. Thanks again for all the information. God bless.

Loved this video.

This was the best explanation I heard for caring for my Thanksgiving cactus 🌵. Thank you for the blessing at the end. God bless you 🙏

Thanks for you advice love it !

God Bless you too Orchid Whisperer ! I just got the exact guidance from you ... as I needed now , end of October . Mine is filled with buds ...starting to bloom . Thanks for Thanksgiving tips ❤ and Have a Merry Christmas ... Happy Halloween, meanwhile !! 🌽

Started today hoping for Blooms for my Birthday 🌵 🌸 Thanks for sharing.

Hi Amy 🌸, thank you for the great tips! Your videos are so informative. Hoping for a season of beautiful blooms 🤞🏻. I have mine in clay pots and they seem to dry out quicker, as if the pot pulls the water out of them. I’m looking forward to repotting them in the spring with the new pots from the Orchid Supply. God bless you and your family. Chrissy 🤠

💚 I'm looking forward to my two "red/white" combos to bloom this year. They've propogated well and are very bushy and green in 6" pots. They're gonna get their 12 hrs of darkness and hopefully bloom sooner 🤞 Will keep you updated. I, so love these plants and your explanation is impeccable. Blessings 😇

On a previous video you advised to water using orchid fertiliser. I have used this intermittently to great results. My plants look better and had a bumper flowering season. Thanks for your tips Amy. 🇦🇺

Hi Amy. I love the timing of your Thanksgiving cacti videos through the year. They've been very helpful. I'm going to move my largest TC to my coffee table in our great room, and find a box large enough to cover it for 12 hours daily. I've never done this before, so it will be fun to see the results. I fertilized mine for the last time last week. 😊👍 September and October are my favorite months here in North Alabama. I'll be playing with some new plants and dirt in my gardens today. I hope you have a blessed day. 🙋‍♀️💐🐛🦋🌻🌸🌼

I don’t put a box over my Thanksgiving cactus but I put it in an unused bedroom where it gets natural light and darkness as the season changes to fall. Since we start having less light about the end of August it seem to work. It has bloomed every year. This year it was a bit neglected because of my having so many other plants and day to day chores to attend to. I hope it will not hold that against us.

God blessed amen Thank you for your wonderful tips

Great information

Thanks for the reminder, Amy! 🧡 Mary Ann

Thank you for the fantastic info.God Bless you..🙏❤️

Thank you 👏

Thank you for tilling, many of us love the flowers but don’t know how to care for it.

Hi Amy 💚! I moved my giant thanksgiving/ and Christmas cactus into the back bedroom on September 2nd. It is cooler and darker there at night and after12/14 hrs of darkness,i open the blinds. It's a northwest window area. I can water lightly there andam hoping it produces more flowers this way. We've had 100 plus degree weather her for close to 2 months and its always sunny where i usually keep these beauties. If i want,can i move them back in October before the blooms come so i can prevent loosing buds,or wait until the end of October?. I will mist only in October. I love looking at these plants and its hard not seeing them all day!💚👎🥰. Thank you; you're the best!!!

I know there are different strains of Christmas cactus and the one I have is from my grandmother who had it in the 70's. It has never bloomed since I've owned it. My wife has one that blooms every year and both plants are in the south window. Mine has smooth edges while my wife's plant has jagged edges so I wonder if mine is a blooming variety..I guess I'll try the box method..

I'm trying to use these tips! I'll let you know how it goes!💚

They’ll bloom sitting on a window sill on the east coast

Thanks so much for the useful advice. I have followed your suggestions and my Thanksgiving Cactus has started to bloom, a week before Thanksgiving. Perfect timing! I am wondering -- When do I resume watering?

Gee I hope my Christmas Cactus blooms don't drop. My husband brought one home last night with the groceries. It's absolutely beautiful! I was joking with him about getting me a cactus instead because I'm horrible at keeping plants alive. I can care for birds and keep them alive for years and year, but plants, I have no luck with at all. I want to keep this one around for years to come.

I don’t have to move mine or put in the dark to get mine to bloom they just do. Have a peaceful day

Guess I got lucky. Received a Thanksgiving cactus over the holidays loaded with flowers and buds. Here it's late January and still plenty of buds on it.

Thank you so much for the video and your gentle voice is so soothing to the ears. I want to know how many times in a year do they bloom. I had wonderful blooms in November 2022 and now I can see that they are starting to give buds.I propagated them after the end of blooms and they are doing well. ♥️from India

Hi Amy🤗🌸How are you? Well🙄I have nearly killed mine with the over watering stunt this summer. I repotted her but she is not a happy girl. I have had to repot the shoots that fell off so I don’t expect any blooms this winter but who knows, they are resilient plants. Hope you are still enjoying warm sunny weather. Stay well 😇🌼🌸💕🌻

Hi Amy! Thank you so much for your wonderful tips. Do you have any suggestions on what I can use to cover my cacti to give them more darkness without breaking the leaves, they are growing so beautifully I really dont have a dark area for them for 12 hours. Thank you so much! ❤❤

Thank you very much for this video. It answers all my questions. I have a Thanksgiving cactus that's been sitting on our covered porch all year. It is covered with buds about to open. Last year it hardly bloomed at all for the reasons you mentioned. Would it hurt to bring it inside the house so we can enjoy it's beauty while fully bloomed or is it best to leave it on the porch? The weather in eastern NC is about to get cold. Thanks!

I am hoping this year blooms will be better. I am about to bring them inside. They have been outside all summer.

So when watering remove the move then cover

So my Christmas cactus in now blooming beautifully. I move it every night into a pitch dark room for at least 12 hours of complete darkness. Then next morning she goes back out to the living room for good indirect light. No buds have dropped at all. It looks healthy as an ox. Should I stop moving it every night? You have me scared now I'm going to lose my blooms!

They look 👀 great. Question 🙋‍♀️? What abou the summer time? Are they outdoor? Heat? Sun? Etc. I’m In Canada 🇨🇦 and just bought a small one and don’t know how much light to give ? I also have air conditioning which I don’t know if it can affect ? Please let me know when you have time

Hi Amy, how is. Your halo light working on your Christmas. Cactus?

My Thanksgiving & Christmas Cacti bloom no problem but for some reason the flowers are always white. Is it too much exposure to light?? How do you get different color variations? Thank you & God Bless 🙏🌞

When the cactus is blooming do you water at all? Is October the last time you water til Spring?

putting my catus in closet of night then low light in bedroom no buds yet, most of Sept and October nothing

Amy will not water the entire month of October. Already getting buds. When do I water it again?

So remove box water then recover

Can't get mine to bloom

I mentioned a while ago that I ordered an orange holiday cactus and it was a failure. First plant and second one sent rootless and dead. I tried water propagation and the sections rotted. Are the holiday cactus not available this year? Can't find it anywhere locally, Celina Texas? How about your area?;I know that I won't be getting any thru mail!!👎
