They are prodigious bloomers, often bearing hundreds of flowers, even small plants blooming freely. Their showers of splendid blossoms appear in the dead of winter at the very time we are most grateful for them. For a century they have been favorite house plants because they take so kindly to ordinary care. There are many varieties of these beautiful flowering cacti in many shades of color and you will enjoy them all. There are many ways to root cuttings, if you have a preferred method please use it. We recommend laying the cuttings out in a bright location (OUT OF DIRECT SUN) for 7-10 days. Stick the cuttings in a moist well airrated mix, no more than half the length of the clad. Keep the mix slightly moist (not wet). After about 2 months the plants should be rooted and you can care for them normally. Thanksgiving/Christmas cactus grow best in light shade. Full sunlight is beneficial in midwinter but some shade during the summer is best. Water the growing medium when it is dry to the touch. Thanksgiving/Christmas cactus are tolerant of dry, slightly under-watered conditions. Do not let the soil become waterlogged.
