Halloween cactus blooming

Whether they're called Christmas or Thanksgiving cacti, these festive plants are part of the Schlumbergera genus of houseplants. This plant is nearly in full bloom before October 31; I'm going to deem it a Halloween cactus.

I love how these cacti bloom just in time for the holidays. I might start calling mine a Halloween cactus too!

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a yellow holiday cactus (mine are pink & bloom whenever they feel like it, so that’s why I say holiday, lol.)

for decades in my moms house--then one fall it just up and died.
No bugs that we could find-the other plants did fine.
