Tom says hi! He wanted to show off his newly opened buds. #thanksgiving-cactus #thanksgivingcactus-blooming #cactus #schlumbergera-truncata #cactus-flower #succulent #succulents

Mine are taking forever to open!!

I am having trouble with mine too. Many of the smaller buds are just falling off! I think it may be due to overwatering at the nursery. It was downright swampy when I got it! I'm afraid to repot in dry soil and start over watering because I don't want to risk it stopping flowering so I'm waiting for it to dry out. @heatherdirtyhands

That's probably the best idea. Last year I only got 1 flower and this year I have 4 buds so its better at least. I think I'm.gonna lose a bud or two tho

What color is this one.

@yogi2 I only have one. This is still Tom, the purple one. The flowers appear more purple or more pink depending on the light. 💜💕

Tom opened up this morning! #thanksgiving-cactus #thanksgivingcactus-blooming #cactus #succulent #schlumbergera-truncata #cactus-flower

Very pretty

Tom is gorgeous 💟

Whoa whoa whoa. There are purple ones?! I NEED THIS IN MY LIFEEEE!!!

Do u still have the purple one.

Yep, but it isn't flowering right now. Tom lives in my kitchen. @yogi2

Could I have a cutting from your purple one.

@yogi2 Sure! That's no problem. Here's my email, so you don't have to share your address in the comments: johnlovessoysauce@gmail.com

Where do u live at.

@yogi2 I live in the southest part of Alabama. You?

@savannahssucculentgarden i live in macon,illinois up by decatur,illinois.

@yogi2 I think it will be fine. I've done a lot of trades to California, and they all worked out.

I originally labeled this a Christmas cactus, but it's a Thanksgiving cactus! I will probably rename her. I wonder what a Thanksgiving name would be? #thanksgiving-cactus #schlumbergera-truncata #cactus #cactus-flower

Love that you name her 👍🏻😊

I think it's fun that you name all your plants. 😍😎

Babe I think its a thanksgiving cactus especially since its blooming now I'm.gonna tag u in something asap so u can tell.for sure

@heatherdirtyhands I didn't even think to question the label, but you're right. Thanksgiving are the pointiest ones, right? I need to think of a Thanksgiving name now. What do you think a turkey would be named? Lol

Tom? Or a cool pilgrim name like ethan or an Indian name....what about maize?

Also I'm sad because I love your christmas idea. U had it all planned. U need a turkey planter or a cornucopia u know that be cool

@heatherdirtyhands Yes that would be awesome! I'll figure out something fun to decorate it. So far my favorite name is Tom. ☺️
