My Easter cactus is in bud right now.. I purchased it last year walmart.. I am surprised it is .
I also kept it in the cold room all winter.. Now I am anxious.

You kept it in a cold room all winter & now you brought it out ??

Just asking, so I know.

You have a green thumb for sure.

She sure does, Sunny. I agree.

HIya CAROL an gang..Tee hee I finally got on here again.

I just cant forget a nice person like you failing in my plants.


Hello everyone ........this is my old camping grounds..Happy thanksgiving.

Good Morning, Barb !!! So glad to see that you were able to get in...we/I missed you a LOT !!!! I hope you are able to get back in again & again.....

So glad your cactus are all in bud....

Good/not so good news on the cactus front here. (The bad news is) Apparently I only have 2 pots of living cactus now a days. I have no idea what color the one in the dining room by my glass sliding doors is, but it has 1 bud.

(The good news) The one in my guest room, that is made up of the pieces that you sent to me, has 4 buds on it !! YAY !!!

IF they either bloom, I will be sure to photograph them for your viewing pleasure.

Sounds good carol....

Hey I could not get on the 2nd time again.. Changed the password an got here.

I am going to shut down an see if it lets me on again.. This is so crazy.

It says I am logged in then when I hit a forum to reply it Logs me out??????????? Grrrrrrrrr

Yippee Carol. Buds!!!!!

I thank you both so very much--now I hope I DO get the blooms !!

I will let you both know either way...

Yes, this is the most current thread. My mother has hers in the dining room in full sun all year and it blooms like crazy every year.

I had mine in full sun and they did nothing, just stayed the same--I put UV film on the deck doors, to keep out the heat, & some of them died. Then I read that cooler temps & dark a good part of the day would help them bloom...so I tried that.....and here your Mom has it blooming sitting in full sun---which direction is the sun coming from ???

East and her plants are sitting at a window without a curtain.

I only have 1 window that faces east that I can put any plants by, but that is the room that is only heated when the kids come home and stay here. I currently have 1 cactus by that window..I had 4 buds on that cactus but only 2 of them bloomed. BUT then the kids were home twice & so the room was heated, and the windows curtains put back down to cover the window for a few days both times.

Thank you for the link Junie. I had no idea this isn't even a real plant. Interesting. And I had no idea they're so easy to propagate. I'm going to prune when my stops blooming and stick the pruned parts in the dirt and see what happens.

I think you will need to keep the soil moist..let us know what happens.

I'll keep you posted.

Thanks, Sheri.... I only got 2 nice blooms and then my cactus was done for the year....

ya go Sheri, ...a link to the cactus thread in the proper forum..(House plants)
