How to water my Christmas Cactus or Holiday Cactus?

Fantastic content. You explained that beautifully. Sorry about your other plants though. Hopefully they will recover. Happy New Year!

Do you know about Spring cactus? I have one but can not get it to bloom again. It's leaves new growth are changing...instead of flat they have 3-4 sides.

Hello, that's interesting. In the spot that you keep them, would you say they get a lot of indirect light all day long (just close to a window, no direct sunshine) They also need to sense the season change in temperature. Mine wouldn't bloom if I kept them in the warmest rooms in the house during fall and winter

@@BelovedPlant I have them in the same window with my Thanksgiving cacti (that do well blooming right now) . I'm wondering if the Spring cactus with the shape of the leaves chancing maybe reverting. But thank you for your response.

@@rustown1 I put my spring cacti in my garage for a month with a grow light (8hrs only) in late Autumn. It has to be in the dark the remaining time otherwise cover with something. Temps at night are 45-50 degrees fahrenheit in there.

@@BelovedPlant that's why I put mine in my "very cool" garage for a month. See my comment.

You told us when the plants need water, but not how much.
