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

[@plantvibrations]

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.

[@JPsView]

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!

[@plantvibrations]

That’s amazing!! My good friend just gifted me a portion of his grandmas plant that she started in the 60s!!! Such awesome memories associated with such a pretty plant

[@bettywhite8407]

My mom had a Christmas flower for yrs.

[@hickorygolddoc]

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.

[@gloriauphayes2307]

Can you please tell me the best fertilizer to use.

[@vdgitaliano]

I have one that is nearly 55 years old and had the same issue. I find that super bright indirect daytime light during the summer months is what makes mine bloom. It now does it five times a year.

[@alexasimpson4061]

I came across your video through the random serendipity of KZbin. 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.

[@plantvibrations]

Wow what an amazing story!! They’re truly family heirlooms! I hope this video inspired you to help reawaken the beauty of your plant

[@ceahorse56]

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.

[@plantvibrations]

amazing! you found the perfect way to care for them!

[@terrianderson5895]

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.

[@HermitCrone]

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!

[@plantvibrations]

Love hearing that story!

My grandmother had a beautiful Christmas cactus. It was over 30 years old. I'll always remember marveling to her about it and how beautiful it was when it bloomed every year.

[@plantvibrations]

How beautiful!

[@lillic8522]

In my early twenties for my first apartement I bought a pink one and thought, that maybe the year after that I could maybe get one with a color that I like better. I am 61 now, and the pink plant is still here and has produced lots of offspring for my whole family

[@jamesmardeusz5899]

I just got a Christmas cactus. Im great with plants and people ha! May I say you are beautiful! everything about you. Never before on the internet have I ever complimented a guy or felt this way.

[@angelmom9682]

You aren’t kidding about these plants living a long time, my grandmother who would be 115 if she was still living had both her mother’s & her mother in law’s which they earth got as wedding gift & they were each teenage brides, those holiday cactus plants are still going strong at my aunts house. It’s amazing! They are beautiful! I was watching this because she is going to start one from each plant for me & I wanted to learn how to care for it. This was very informative,thank you!

[@plantvibrations]

Omg what a family heirloom! I would love to see what the blooms look like, probably like nothing you can find these days!

[@Skeptimystic]

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.

[@friedatschetter1002]

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.

[@plantvibrations]

I love hearing that!! You definitely know what you’re doing!!

[@pirhala]

I’ve adopted the responsibility of taking care of my Christmas cacti that are around 100 years old now. They’ve been on my family farm for a couple generations. I’ve had a lot of trials and tribulations trying to take care of these and I felt like a failure… these tips will definitely help me, so thank you!

After watching the video about Christmas cactus, I feel extremely delighted and touched by the beauty of this plant. The video has helped me gain new knowledge about how to care for and decorate Christmas cactus during the holiday season. The images and information presented in the video demonstrate the delicacy and diligence in taking care of the Christmas cactus. From watering, pruning, to fertilizing, everything is done with love and meticulous care. I am also impressed with the way the Christmas cactus was decorated in the video. The LED lights and decorative accessories used created a warm and colorful festive atmosphere. The Christmas cactus is not only a decorative plant, but also a creative and impressive work of art. I am very grateful for the opportunity to watch this video and learn new knowledge about Christmas cactus. I hope to apply this knowledge to better care for my own plant and decorate a beautiful Christmas cactus in the upcoming holiday season.

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.

Great video. I have tons of new, baby plants (as well as big ones) in various shades from yellow to dark pink. Why do I have so many??? 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.
