Is can I get it to bloom?

#thanksgivingcactus
4ft to light, indirect
6โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 1 week ago
@PlantNanna I had problems getting mine to bloom last year. I was told they need a lot of darkness. So I put it under a black bag starting at 5pm until around 9am and I got blooms for the 1st time in a year.
It really works: Iโ€™m trying the spring in the water this year.

Mine bloomed close to Thanksgiving (hence the name lol ๐Ÿ˜›). I see yours was blooming in the profile photo, when was that taken? While there are steps you can take to force it to bloom more than once a year, I prefer to let mine do its natural thing and bloom when it's ready, which is typically mid-late November ๐Ÿ˜Š
