I always enjoy the blooms on my Thanksgiving cactus plants. Today I got a Noid that has white and pink blooms. The buds are peach though. I've had my red TC for 2 years now and its done very well this year with blooming. I try to collect at least 1 TC each year. I had a yellow Thanksgiving cactus last year, but most of it died. I still managed to keep one segment alive. It seems to be more picky than the other colors.

Beautiful . How are you keeping that Croton alive in zone 8a . Humidity lover that.

Beautiful blooms! Your newest NOID looks a lot like S. 'White Christmas'.

Holiday Cactus (Schlumbergera truncata 'White Christmas')

Thank you Masud and Tee. I've had my crotons for 4 years now and when I bring them indoors they always lose quite a few leaves but as soon as I put them outside in Spring, they recover nicely. I've killed several crotons in the past, but my current ones seem to be very hardy and tolerant lol. I have a friend who has two crotons that stay indoors all year and they only receive a little light in the morning. Both have blooms on them. My friend never does anything special to them. Thanks so much Tee for id'ing my Thanksgiving cactus. I need to write that down so I can remember to label it.

I have 'White Christmas' too, and love it.

I had to go to Walmart to get it because Lowes and Home Depot only had the red and pink varieties. I wish they would sell other colors

Cameron - Your Crotons might do better indoors if you create a humid environment for them; daily misting helps.

Thanks Hetty. I'll start misting them more. I try to mist them at least twice a day, I also have a humidifier but I don't have room to put it by my crotons lol.

I couldn't help but get in on this conversation!! I also love holiday cactus,(shorter than naming all 3).I haven't had any of mine long except 1 that was passed to me from my mother.There was a time it was probably the only plant i had & it was lucky to get watered,it would have a bloom or two every year & that was about it..After i got more into growing plants i re-potted it.To find 3 or 4 different plants in the pots.Now this year it is blooming a new color.The plants were so intertwined i left them planted that way.It only has 1 color on it and i thought it had bloomed a light pink in the past so either my memory is really bad or the plants are different & taking turns.They haven't opened up yet,here's what i have so far.

I'm waiting on it to open.
My "polka dancer" has opened and it's a beautiful flower.


this one is peaches and cream


I have 2 others that are NOIDS if anyone has any idea,the white one i'm still waiting for it to open

these last 2 pictures are the same bloom the bottom picture looks a little darker than it really was,the buds looked pink until right before they opened & i got it as a pink ??? i think it was a mystery.



my last plant i know it's name & color, it's a christmas cactus waiting to see what it's going to do,if anything it was purchased and shipped to me about a month or more ago.Don't know if i'm suppose to be doing anything to it.Not sure when it's bloom time is and my others were put in complete darkness at night.??

Beautiful JoJoe!

Wow Jojoe you have so many pretty colors.

My last two have opened does anyone have any idea of the names of any of the colors of my plants? I only know 'polka dancer',peaches & cream',I have one called 'petra's salmon' it's a christmas cactus and hasn't even gotten a bud.I just received this plant so maybe the shock of the trip from New Jersey could be preventing it from blooming.I will keep my fingers crossed & the plant in the sun!!!


Thank you for the compliments on my plants!!! I am still learning about them,they can be very forgiving but not about everything!!! The pictures of the white & the gold one was taken yesterday this morning they are open!!!

I wish I could help you ID them. My pink Thanksgiving cactus blooms are about to open. They are much smaller than the other blooms.
