The Christmas Cactus which is Zygocactusor Schlumbergera is so called because it supposedly blooms around Christmas. It is also known to bloom around Easter time. I have had this one in early summer and it is blooming now. It is so interesting watching the tiny buds appear at the tips of the leaves and each day they grow until they burst into these beautiful flowers. While I am enjoying my cactus daily now, I wish it would bloom again for Christmas. The Christmas Cactus blooms for about two weeks at a time depending on conditions.

I never knew such a plant existed.
It’s really a lovely plant. Thanks for reading.
I no longer have such plant but it is always enjoyed to see it.
I have had a few in the past as well but they didn’t survive
Why? Do they lack sunlight?
I love the beauty of this plant.
It is quite a cheerful plant and I enjoy looking at it.
we don’t have one in the house, but I have seen them many times. Lovely!
I have others over the years but this one is recent
our house is where plants go to die. Not on purpose, we just forget!
Yes, I have a plant like this..
Oh great. Enjoy it and thanks for visiting.
Mine are just starting to bloom.
Wonderful! It is exciting to watch the flowers develop each day
I have a ton of them now.
I had white orange red and pink. But they rotted away in the rain. 🙁
I keep mine indoors or in a covered area outside during the summer. Too much rain will do that.
I have seen that kind of plant and I also like the color of that plants
It is a nice plant even when it isn’t blooming. Thanks for visiting.
I have never seen this type of cactus only the common one. It’s beautiful.
It makes a very delightful house plant
I agree but I have never seen it in my country.
Due to our weather here I doubt they grow here naturally and I suspect they are imported.
It is beautiful! I have one but it has not bloomed in years.
I heard they need a minimum of 12 to 15 hours of total darkness each day in order to bloom. I never really tested this theory.
Stunning. You must be already in a Christmas mood thanks to this cactus (lol)
Not ready for Christmas yet but I do enjoy the blooms.
It looks very lovely. I had a Christmas cactus plant which my late husband gave me back in Latvia. About a week after he died in August 2017 the cactus began blooming and I knew he was saying hello. Now I have bought myself another Christmas cactus but it is not blooming yet.
I believe your husband was indeed talking to you through that cactus. How lovely. I am sure it would bloom in time for Christmas.
I love them! I have two and they usually bloom in October, but they haven’t bloomed this year yet. I got a new one recently and it’s blooming right now.
I guess they do bloom around this time. They are so cheerful
Sometimes they bloom in spring as well, it’s always a surprise with these plants, hehe.
This cactus is really very beautiful, dear friend …. maybe I buy it this year
If you buy it I am sure you will enjoy it as I do.
Because Christmas is slowly approaching, I’m really going to buy one
I had this plant a while ago. I have to buy it again because it’s beautiful.
It is a beautiful plant and quite nice to see how the flowers develop.
Gorgeous color, I have had this plant before.
It is a delight. I got two in the summer and gave one to my daughter-in-law.
