When I repot my Thanksgiving cacti, I use these products:
Glacier Gold potting mix (2 parts) to 1 part small Orchiata bark/chunky perlite.
This keeps the mix light and airy.
Thanks so much for watching!

🌺 Sharon, the Easter cactus! Too cute, love it. We will just 🤞our fingers on these diva's and hope for the best. Good haircut on big red! My largest, Scarlett is getting a huge haircut too in time. She's all in bud again now. My TC are on their 2nd bloom cycle, buds everywhere and the colors that didn't bloom earlier are all in bud now. Talk about late for dinner. Dinner's over, lol. Great video Amy! 💚🌵💚

Hi everyone it's easter Sunday and my Easter cactus is budding. It's going to flower later than usual

[@OrchidWhisperer]

I'm so happy you have buds on your cactus! Congratulations 🎊 👏 It's not easy to get them to bud and bloom. Happy growing!

[@yolilopez1992]

I don’t see any growth or buds either. The plant looks great but no signs of buds😏 this is my Easter cactus

[@OrchidWhisperer]

I'm hoping we both have blooms this time, Yoli! 😇

That Easter Cactus looks quite peaked. I realize that it is supposed to shrivel a but that might be a bit much. Is it supposed to think it is dying before it flowers?? That plant looked so much better when you showed it before. I am very curious to see what happens. My daughter did this with her Easter Cactus but she has no buds either. She decided to water her’s a couple of weeks ago. It is still healthy looking but this is the second year without buds.

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Good news is, I'm finding buds popping out on this Easter cactus! It's really hard for me not to water a plant thoroughly...it's been an experience of discipline! Lol

[@agnesweiss9525]

Should I trim mine even if not so big?

[@OrchidWhisperer]

No, there's no need to trim a smaller plant. 😇🌺

Amy, you’re not going to believe it but I found a beautiful Easter cactus at a nursery in Schulenburg Tx!! The buds look like mini chili peppers lol. So I’ll be following your directions on Easter cactus 😃🌶️🌸 Happy Easter, many blessings! Chrissy 🤠

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Hi Chrissy! I'm so happy that you found one! I'm still learning about them. Mine only has a few buds so far...but at least there's a few! Lol! Happy 🐣 Easter, my friend! 😇🐶✝️

@@OrchidWhisperer Thank you 😃 I’m so glad to hear that yours is budding!

Hi Amy 🌸, thank you for the video. Love the “haircuts” you gave big Red & Snow White! I need to do the same for all of mine. I know you said you’re not fertilizing, does that include no cal/mag or seaweed either? Thank you again for all that you do, you’re such of a blessing 🙏🏻💜 Chrissy 🤠

[@OrchidWhisperer]

Hi Chrissy! 🌺 I do add some Cal Mag this time of the year. Thanks so much for your sweet comments...it's always so nice hearing from you, my friend! Blessings!😇🌺🧡
