She’s been in that pot a long time. She likes the un-glazed clay as it dries out quickly.

I feed her all year ‘round using my trick of filling up a just-emptied milk jug, leaving the last dribbles of milk still in it.

Also, I don’t move her, other than to rotate her whenever I remember to. The spot she’s in is a south facing window and the slant of the sun changes just perfectly starting in late summer; less sun triggers her bloom cycle.

Sounds like that cactus is getting perfect care. I have had a few in the past - they last a few years but always seemed fragile and I did not get great blooms over time.

As far as holiday decoration I will enjoy looking at everyone's pictures but I have no such plans. I made it out to hobby lobby yesterday to get that silver paint and spent about 45 minutes in there just looking around. It was a nice break from being so homebound.
