it's doing wonderfully yay! 😍🌿

@lissoms At one point all its leaves and new shoots fell off but it's happy now 🎉🎉

She is pretty. This looks like Schlumberger truncata, a.k.a., Thanksgiving cactus.

@lovestogarden I thought that but I bought it last Christmas and it was flowering then so I'm a bit confused.

Well, they flower when the want to. The leaf shape is the tell. Check out: https://goo.gl/images/zWYq69

@lovestogarden they do look like the Thanksgiving leaves. Thanks!

My pleasure. Just passing on the information I learned here on Gtags. ❤

I dnt think your bad at gardening @sarahflamingo i see all ur plants and they all look gorgeous and healthy

😂 thank you @hannahchristine but I only post the successful ones. I got the timings wrong for my veg this year but oh well there is next spring.

@sarahflamingo yes next spring its ok ive done that a time or two lol with veg well you have alot of pretty plants and you welcome 😊

05/05/17. Oh no my cactus is falling apart! It's dropped of the new shoots. When the first leaf fell off I let it dry. #help #advice #cactus #cactus-advice #christmascactus #christmascactus-advice #thanksgivingcactus #eastercactus #pleasehelp

Just lay them on top of the soil like the others. They should form roots too. Maybe @lovestogarden can give you better advice? #succulent-advice

Thanks @SikoMa I'm going to try to root them I'm just wondering why they actually fell off!

Oh gotcha, maybe @alovealoe @Muzz67 @beezus can help with that?🤔🤔🤔

I'm not sure why the fell off, but would love you to tag me when you get an answer. I'm with Dar, just let them scab as they set on soil. They look good. 🤔 @SikoMa

Im not sure why either 😑

Thanks @lovestogarden I have looked it up and the most common reason is over watering! So I have left it to dry out.

Thanks anyway @Muzz67

The only thing I was going to say was maybe too much water ?

Yeah I thought about that @Muzz67 so I have left it to dry out!

Send it to the desert!

Haha! If I don't find a way to help it, it may be sent to the bin @lovestogarden !

On my Christmas Cactus this shoot is growing. Because it's pink I think it may be a flower but I'm not sure. I need #help. Is this a flower bud or not? #christmascactus #cactus #plantid-cactus #succulent #succulent-advice #closeup #bud

This is my #christmascactus. Most of the plant died because it seemed like they just shoved a bunch of leaves into a pot and didn't let it root. #cactus #propagation #green #plant #houseplant #indoorplant

I'm going to post a close up of the pink shoot on the right.

This is a Thanksgiving cactus
