Do not overwater. My Thanksgiving cactus thankfully survived an overwatering, but not everyone will. Be careful!

Blooms beautifully when kept properly. Be sure to keep it watered. Loses leaves easily.

Very easy to grow. Loves fresh rain water and indirect light. Go by Greg’s watering schedule as over watering will cause root rot. Blooms beautiful peachy orange flowers at Thanksgiving.

Love this plant! It’s a baby from a plant I rehomed from the Pacific Northwest, so it’s definitely a survivor!

Very hearty. I’ve also had it outdoors on our covered porch in the summertime and it did really well there.

If you don’t feed it for awhile, she will be okay! She’s a real survivor:)

I live in New England, and last winter (October-ish?) I accidentally left this cactus outside during a frost... maybe more than one day... I brought it in, left it is the window with good morning sunshine for weeks, cleaned up the dead parts that easily broke off and back in May I saw growth! And now this guy is happily growing back!

Plant just keeps going with minimal care, blooms twice a year. Wish it grew faster.

He likes full sun but also doesn’t get fussy if I move him ! He literally is one of my favorites because I can go almost 2 weeks without worrying about him needing water!
