Hmm..I may have to try that..I just keep them indoors here, but they do bloom still, always around January here. But it is just too dry and so heat intense during our summers. Will see what my mood will be heheh.

I have some spent blooms, going to try if one of those will become a fruit later on as what happened to one of those I have, usually I immediately remove the spent blooms, so this time I will keep them intact and wait. Experiment time!

great idea, I'll try that too! Although I don't see how mine could be viable without flies or bees or anything

I don't have flies or bees indoors too, but somehow my other plant managed it..maybe an errant gnat or a tiny ant..who knows! But it is so tempting to remove the spent blooms

Here is my last bloom of the season!

I am so ready for Easter cactus now!

My other holiday cacti is finally catching up! I think it wants Valentine's for its holiday

Julie I love that color!

Tarev = I like that mine bloom nearly all year round, they just don't do a large over all bloom except once per year, when ever they feel like it, I can't seem to figure out what the holiday is!

Oh they like your cooler temps Greg! Mine is also holiday blind ...will bloom whenever but between late Fall to early Spring.

Tarev yes I forgot your hot summers aren't appreciated too much by these guys!

Yeah, pretty much summer here is zapped mode for the plants..too hot to bloom ..so they just hold it and wait for conditions to improve. And I just keep these ones indoors year round, to keep them safe.

That is funny, soon after joining ATP and you were saying these plants are winter growers I realized that our Seattle summers are very similar to their winter temps so they grow all year round (well since I bring them inside during winter!)

Yes, pretty much your summer in my winter already

I know crazy huh!! Only probably wetter (yes even in summer - other than last year) we get more than our fair share of rain

Thanks, @gg5 - I'll be pinching it back soon so let me know if you want a cutting!

Mine only bloom from November to January. Even then, I have to "force" the cooler temps because of a mild winter. For example, this entire week the temps have been in the upper 60's and lower 70's! I'm looking forward to Easter cactus now. Hopefully, they will be in the stores soon!

It is still Happy Hearts Month, so my holiday neutral cacti finally caught up with some blooms!

so pretty Tarev! Julie, I'll treemail you, I think I do want a cutting!

@gg5 , just let me know!

@tarev , your blooms are beautiful! Such a pretty color!

Thanks Greg and Julie!

that color is pretty, Tarev.

Thank you Deebie!
