Last week for the farmer’s market. Sigh. I invested in an indoor grow light. We were so cloudy the past two weeks the oregano and rosemary I moved indoors are absolutely miserable. I’ll see what they look like in a week.
My Christmas cactuses are loaded with growing buds. My big one should be in full bloom by Thanksgiving and the little one in early December. Here’s hoping they do their usual and I get blooms thought mid January. Last year I got blooms as late as April.
Is there a trick to getting a Christmas cactus to bloom? I’ve had one for several years now and it’s never bloomed. It’s very healthy and its arms grow ever longer (should they be trimmed?) but no blooms. Does it need particular conditions or supplements? Thanks!

Mine, too! I have one - a peach color, that I’ve had for 10+ years. I call her my, ‘Halloween Cactus.’ She should be blooming in a few days.
Now - I’ve got to get some Amaryllis on order and started!
