I’m going to be moving my Thanksgiving Cactus from my sun porch to my living room where I can admire him a bit more 😍This guy is big and needs a trim ✂️
Beautiful thanksgiving cactus Rebecca. Such an easy plant to take care of. I just completely ignore mine and they still thrive. My Christmas cactus is in bloom this summer. I’m loving it 🥰 Happy planting! 🌱💚
Myra Murison ~ Thank you, Myra 😊 Aren’t the blooms beautiful? Just love them, so pretty 😍 I’m really enjoying Epiphytic Cacti, I’d like to add more to my collection 👍🏻 I have a curly orchid cactus but would like to add a couple of other Orchid cacti as well, soo easy to care for❣️🙏🏻🍃💕
Nature's Rainbow ~ Thank you so much, Holiday Cacti are some of my favorites 😊 Thanks for the sub, I’ve subscribed to your channel as well, have a great week❣️🙏🏻🍃💕
Looking nice..i love it when it blooms..i am starting to like geraniums now to and now that i know i can bring it inside for the winter i am going to see if i can keep it alive..my next experiments😁😁
Plantstherapy101 ~ Thank youu ~ I love Geraniums, they were one of my mothers favorites ❤️ I was going to put some in a planter for outside this summer, but just haven’t gotten around to it, lol. They are pretty tolerant of high sun, which is what we need for our yard, plants that are tolerant of high sun. You will have to let me know how they overwinter inside, I’m curious to know 😊🙏🏻🍃💕
I have a huge one myself that I love. It was the very first one of my now many succulents...my apartment looks like a jungle when I bring them all in for winter...but I LOVE it. Keeps me from getting the blues in the winter seeing it bloom. I have the most beautiful reddish one that I swear has an iridescent look almost like merthiolate ...orange and pink with the most beautiful white stigma coming out of the center...the flowers remind me of hummingbirds...it just makes me happy. I want to find a true yellow...I now have a white with the palest pink hue...and the Salmon colored one...now to get them as big as my red one🥰
They are some of my favorites as well, love them so much 😊 and yes the blooms are just the prettiest❣️ Such an easy to care for plant and soo rewarding 👍🏻 I have a yellow TC, not sure if you are following me on IG, but if you want you can message me in the Spring and maybe we can do a little swap 😊 I need to take pics of the blooms on mine so that I have them, when I do I can send you those as well 🙏🏻🍃💕
Thank you again for a helpful video on cutting back growth on this Thanksgiving cactus.. i need to know the temperature to keep my house so not to hurt my cactus. I have cold rooms and a heater in the room I mostly sit in. My house was built in the 1800’s. Thanks.
Hi, Iris 😊 Holiday cacti can tolerate pretty chilly temps and the chilly temps are actually what encourage buds/blooms. I would say a temp of 55-60 and above well suits the Holiday cacti. Hope this helps, thanks for watching and commenting and Happy New Year❣️🙏🏻🍃💕
Wow, it's huge and its beautiful 😍. I hope mine gets there some day. You are super awesome with these Rebecca. Every time I want to up on ThanksgivingCactus, I think of you and I immediately get encouraged. Thanks for a lovely video, ubsolutely helpful 😍😍😍.
Aww, thanks Moira 🥰They’re really not hard to care for at all, I find them to be some of my easiest. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask, I might be able to help 😊 Hope your week is going well friend❣️🙏🏻🍃💕
That is a nice sized Thanksgiving Cactus and very pretty. Mine is suppose to have yellow blooms, we will see what color they are when it blooms. I have had it for about 4 or 5 months now and it is very healthy looking. Great video
Chrystal Sabin ~ Thanks, Chrysal 😊 I love that the Thanksgiving Cacti come in a variety of colors, I have a few of them, love them so much 😍 Thanks for watching and commenting❣️🙏🏻🍃💕
Sally Edmondson ~ Hi, Sally, Yes, very healthy 💚 such an easy plant to care for, never any issues 😊 Thanks so much for watching and for commenting❣️🙏🏻🍃💕
Wow your Thanksgiving cactus is the biggest I ever seen. It looks great and can they bloom anytime of the year or just at Thanksgiving? Because I've seen people they said their holiday cactus blooms anytime of the year 😁🙄 So how will I know if I'm buying a Christmas cactus, Spring Cactus, Thanksgiving cactus? Is there any thing that can identify the difference? Thanks for sharing your plant care Rebecca, enjoy your day dear 💚🌿
Lifepaholic ~ Hey lady, thank you 😊 The T-Giving Cactus has clawed edges and the Xmas and Easter Cacti look very similar in that the scallops on the edges are a bit different, the XMas edges are more “teardropped” and the Easter are more rounded. To me, the foliage looks a little less shiny on the Easter and the Easter also has little hair like protrusions coming from the top part of each clade (segment). Definitely very similar to each other though 😊. Given the right conditions they can bloom anytime, but like their names indicate, it’s usually around the time of each holiday ❤️ Hope your day is going well, my friend❣️🙏🏻🍃💕
I had just bought a few Thanksgiving cactus. They are small. I would like to transplant them out of their nursery pot. Can I put 2 together in the same pot?
I have a beautiful thanksgiving cactus that I’ve had for almost 6 years. I have never pruned it and I’m afraid to. I wish I could put a picture of it on here. Anyway I’m going to try to prune it. Do you start at the bottom?
Hi Caroline 😊 You can start anywhere on the plant that you’d like, any area that you feel needs a bit of pruning👍🏻Don’t be afraid, it will grow back, healthy and beautiful! 🙏🏻🪴💕
Joyce Kuhlman ~ Hi, Joyce 😊 From what I have been told, this particular plant is about 15-20 years old. I trim it back a couple of times per year as it is pretty big and I like to keep it a bit “contained”. It really puts on quite a bit of growth during the growing season. I have had this plant for about three years now and I’ve only repotted it once and she’s completely happy 😁 Really easy to care for plants, love the Holiday Cacti❣️🙏🏻🍃💕
Hey, Greg 👋🏻thanks for joining our little plant community 😊 I usually propagate anywhere from 3-5 clades without any problems...Such an easy going, beautiful plant 👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and commenting and have a great weekend❣️🙏🏻🍃💕
Hello 👋🏻Thank youu ~This plant was gifted to me about three years ago and at that time the owner had said she thought it was between 15-20 years old, definitely a bit of history behind it 😊 Thanks so much for watching and commenting❣️🙏🏻🍃💕
Verry beautiful Plants so good sharing friend 👍🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
RITA BALCONY GARDEN ~ Thank you, Rita❣️🙏🏻🍃💕
For a beginner I suggest you do a close up to show the exact spot to cut the cacti as your hand seems to be I the way most of the time
I always cringe when I watch a trimming 😆! Good job,bet the cutting s made a cute plant!💚
Those cuttings made lots of cute little pots😍Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Ellen! 🙏🏻🪴💕

@@ItsmeRebeccaB Thank you so much.
It's hard to see in the part sun/part shade, when you really want to see exactly where to cut
Whoa! That is so beautiful. Mine was looking droopy
Pinay Jungle Home ~ Thank you Lani 😊Is yours better now, maybe needs water? They need a bit more water than the desert cacti :))
Gorgeous cactus!
Thank youu! 🙏🏻🪴💕

Is this the first cuttings off her. And how often do you repot?

Hello Rebecca just joined and I was wondering when you propagate yours how many do you have on a stem ? I do no more than 3
Hey, Greg 👋🏻thanks for joining our little plant community 😊 I usually propagate anywhere from 3-5 clades without any problems...Such an easy going, beautiful plant 👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and commenting and have a great weekend❣️🙏🏻🍃💕
@@ItsmeRebeccaB ok got one more question how many would you recommend putting in a 8 ounce styrofoam cup
@@gregboshell4532 I would say you could probably get about 4 or 5 stems in one of those cups (with 3-5 clades on each) 👍🏻
Will pruning promote new shoots at the base?
Hi Connie 👋🏻 yes pruning will promote new growth at the base 👍🏻Thanks so much for watching! 🙏🏻🪴💕
@@ItsmeRebeccaB Thank you! I have one about 70 yrs old so will do a bit of pruning after the bloom.
Nice work. How old is your plant.
