TY for the hint about keeping the cutting above the bottom of the glass to allow the roots room to grow. I need to do that with mine.

I find the autumn Zygos (thanksgiving) seem to be bred for faster rooting, and water propagation is great for them. The genuine winter Zygos (Christmas) are a little slower to root in water. Those have rounded scallop leaves, and I've only seen them with hot pink flowers, but they will flower consistently all winter. Thanks for your demo.

I think the one in water isn't doing well because once it had a good root structure, it should have been potted up! Probably around week 9.

Quick tip for in between water changes!

[@laurasrn5067]

Thank you! I just took some sections off of my Christmas cactus to try my hand at growing more 💖

[@oliviai7550]

thanks for making this video! im going to propogate in water and then pot them after root growth :)

[@onomybeau2646]

Great Christmas cactus videos. Just what I needed to learn. Thank you!

I propagate in water and also soil. Sometime s I just do the popping the segment in soil and wait . I've also used water propagation. Once the roots appear in water I take the segment and stick it in soil. Don't wait past roots drowning half an inch in water. plant will die eventually if left too long in water!💚

You definitely have the touch to grow Christmas cactus!

Great propagation! It looks more like a Thanksgiving cactus.

[@daniellegarner1933]

I believe that's a Thanksgiving cactus....Christmas and Easter are more scalloped.

This is so helpful thank you so much :)😍😇

[@sparkfishes]

Thanks for the video and advice ......you have a sweet voice

[@brainwater176]

Might want to cut the flower off next time. They use a lot of energy to produce so instead of growing, it just makes the flower.

Great video, really excited to see how to plants look now! Will you be sharing that in your new video?

[@JVCPhotography]

I’d like to see a video of grafting 2 different colors of these plants.

My moms buddy cross bred a Thanksgiving, a Christmas and an Easter cactus. I stole a piece and I'm hoping she doesn't die. I'm going to do the water until I get a decent little root system and then I'll plant it in dirt. Pretty stoked to see how I do and how she looks and how often she blooms. Named her Kamala bc all my plants get powerful women names. 💚🤣💚

Excellent video - really interesting with all the updates.

I use vermicompose and coco peat mix for Christmas cactus, is it ok?

[@anthonylewis62]

I have always grown mine in water, i wait about 2 months before transfereing to soil, i never had luck with soil at all for proprogation, too easy to rot that way
