Okay last post about this flower, I promise! It’s fully open now and so pretty 😍 and here is a picture of me with my baby Cody, who was cranky and did not want to do selfies 😂💖 #HappyPlants #FalseChristmasCactus #ChristmasCactus #BloomingSuccs #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #SucculentLove #FloweringPlants #NewGrowth #PlantAddict #babevila #PetsAndPlants #PetsOfGreg

I already posted about the first bloom on my #FalseChristmasCactus this season, but I just want to show everyone this beautiful, random peach-colored flower that showed up! I’ve had this plant for a year, and in that time, it’s bloomed only red and white flowers—2 plants in the pot—or so I thought. I’m just saying, peach was not in the mix last year! I suppose it’s possible there are 3 plants in the pot and this particular one didn’t bloom at all until this year. If so, jackpot! What a fun surprise 🎉 It’s not fully opened yet, but it’s already so pretty 😍 If you have a #ChristmasCactus or #thanksgivingcactus post in the comments! I love to see everyone’s beautiful colors ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜🌵🌸🪴🤗 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #CactusClique #Cactus #BloomingSuccs #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #FloweringPlants #GregGang #babevila

My #ChristmasCactus is getting ready to bloom! 🥳🌵🌸 My mom got it for me last winter, and it bloomed but only a few flowers. Now, I have dozens of buds! It doesn’t take much to make me happy 😇🪴 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #FalseChristmasCactus #FloweringPlants #BloomingSuccs #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #SuccerForSucculents #CactusClique #Cactus #GregGang #NewGrowth #babevila

My #FalseChristmasCactus bloomed again—I am sure it’s two plants sharing the pot (no buds when I got it in November, so I didn’t know until they started forming). This flower is white, with hot pink stamens (is that the right word? School was a very long time ago 😆) and a thin hot pink circle around the center of the flower. I think I love it even more than the first one! 😍💖🌸 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #SucculentSquad #BloomingSuccs #CactusClique #CactusFlowers #GregGang #babevila

Just a quick update: Yesterday, I posted that my false Christmas cactus has bloomed for the first time since I got it in November. That’s exciting enough, but now, the flower has completely opened all the way up, and it’s just beautiful 😍 My mom has two of these plants, one is at least a decade old, and I’ve never seen the flowers open this far. I must be doing things right! 😇🌸🌵💖 #HappyPlants #FalseChristmasCactus #BloomingSuccs #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #PlantAddict #PLANTMAFIA #babevila

Good morning/afternoon Planty friends 💚👋🏼 I've just been catching up on watering some plants I'm soo excited 👀👀👀🌺 I've only just noticed my "Aria" has buds omg!!! I wasn't expecting any as I've not done what you are supposed to do darkness etc This will be the first time I get flowers since I've had him as a baby 2 Christmas's ago 🥳💃 Happy Sunday everyone 🌏🕊

When is the best time to transplant a Christmas cactus? And, how do I start to propagate a new baby?

I just got this in the mail came from fl to mi.it looks healthy. I think some of the leaves were frozen and are dropping now where seems to be a bloom that was frozen. I removed it. It came already watered. Should I do anything about the frozen part

When her “leaves?” Get red are they getting ready to bud ?

I have my first seed pod!!! I’m so excited.

Hi everyone! I'm brand new here and hope to find help for my house plants. My false Christmas cactus is beautiful and green, but whenever it gets tiny buds on it they don't grow. I would love for it to bloom some day if it's not too late.

Have y'all seen anything cuter??? #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #freshleaffriday #falsechristmascactus Little "Drama" might have collectively abandoned all of her blooms the day I brought her home but she was just making room for this precious little guy!

My Thanksgiving cactus has always been my prized plant and has never had any issues before. Now it is looking wilty and losing pads every day. I repotted it thinking maybe it was root bound or overwatered so I wanted to get it out of its previous pot. This move hasn’t helped its condition and it is still looking sad and dropping pads. I normally water it once a week. Can someone tell me what I can do to save my plant?

Ran across this new baby in Dollar General and had to have it. #ChristmasCactus #PlantAddict #PlantLove #PlantDaddy

Wanted to share this 100 year old Christmas Cactus I inherited. It was my great grandmas. This is ONE of three pots!
