  • @seeds_of_joy so pretty!  what type of plant is that?  I remember my mom having something that looked like that but I don't remember it having flowers.

    @kamays54 I was told it's a Christmas cactus but when I googled it, I'm getting "Schlumbergera". Sounds very German. 
  • Yes!  I remember the name Christmas Cactus.  Not sure of the other name lol.  I'll have to ask my mom if hers had flowers.  I'm sure it did but I just don't remember.  I love how that triggered a random memory.
  • The one in the photo is actually just a piece of the big one we have and that didn't get flowers! I guess the trick is to keep it in the dark for a while. It should bloom a couple times a year.
  • @seeds_of_joy talking with my mom and she said hers is a Thanksgiving cactus and it does bloom twice a year.  Thanksgiving and Easter.  She also said she only waters it once a week but if she forgets it starts to bud more 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • @kamays54 thanksgiving cactus 😆 It must depend on where you live! Ours bloomed in January for some reason.  I think they get confused. I don't remember when the big one last bloomed and I skipped it's weekly watering a couple times. I have that one hanging in a corner that gets a little light from 4 different windows at different times during the day  and I love watching how it reaches for wherever the light comes in! Right now it's drooping because it's dark. 
  • @amccurls the cervical changes seem promising. Keeping my fingers crossed🤞that your baby will come via spontaneous labor!
