Still Blooming 2-23-23

Blush "Christmas Cactus"

Three years old, this lovely Schlumbergera came to me in full bloom. After that she has again bloomed each year, starting in November and continuing through late January. After a brief 6 week break after the end of January 2022, she started to bloom again in March 2023 and has just continued on. There are still plenty of new buds on the plant.

In all honesty, I don't do anything special to get my Christmas Cactuses to bloom each year, let alone put on such a long show. I merely let them do whatever they are going to do. Some of my others are also in bloom right now, too.
