Learning about Christmas/Thanksgiving/Easter cacti was new for me too. This is one of two I have that are both in bloom right now. Got them from a cutting off my FIL’s and they’re kept alive by my husband. A friend has a huge one that’s from his grandmother’s plant that’s over 100 years old.

Is it a Thanksgiving cactus? You can tell them apart by the shape of the leaves. I didn't know there was more than one kind--googled and found there are several types. I'm going to get one tomorrow!

I didn't know this was a holiday tradition.

KelleeM your cactus is beautiful, with such a fabulous story and a lovely reminder of Dick 💕 This is mine currently. My sister bought for me it from a local supermarket a few years ago.

That's so beautiful, and the story behind it even more so.
Thank you for sharing with us.

Love it. I gave away one for a Christmas gift to my DIL's mom. I hope hers does well.
Do they like a lot of light, like direct light?
