Your flowers are done blooming! The flowers will dry and fall off. You will see new leaves about in another month. Here is my Easter Cactus. Your cactus looks small,too! Next year it will be larger too!

Thank you!! This is my first time owning plants besides my ficus ginseng I think it's called I got last year for mothers day.. there so beautiful when in bloom.

Hi & welcome! I totally agree!

Thank you!!!!

@2Amanda01 Mine was tiny too, now it is much larger.
After the flowers die off, water and fertilize it often for several months. Then cut way back on the water, do not fertilize, and move to a sunnier location -- and then it will re-bloom!

Gorgeous, Cwhitt! Yours is similar but a different genus and species, the much beloved plant sold as Christmas cactus, also often called zygocactus (for its' zygomorphically shaped blooms, symmetrical on only 1 axis) and Thanksgiving cactus:
Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera truncata)

Amanda's is the Easter cactus, with blooms that are actinomorphic (symmetrical when divided on any axis):
Easter Cactus (Hatiora gaertneri)

Hey purpleinopp, should I 're pot them to be by themself because my Easter cactus is planted with 3 other plants I got told was alright to be together


This is them the first day I got them..

What an adorable pot!! That's amazing that all 3 species were blooming simultaneously. How long ago was this? What are the plants looking like now? Do your plants go outside for summer?

Thank you!!. These are new. I bought them and planted them together last weekend so it's only been about over a week... I live on the second floor so I don't have a porch, I just put them near my window to get some sunshine and back on the table during the night..

In that case, they're probably fine together since they would be put in the same spot(s) anyway. If they were mine, I'd put the EC elsewhere because I would put the Kalanchoes in tons of direct sun, for many more hours than what can come through a window inside, which would fry the EC. Best luck & good vibes!

I'll probably repot the Easter and get another kalanchoe.. the plant store told me they could all be together but I didn't know the others required more sunlight..

Outside they would. Inside, the EC can take whatever comes through a window, unless you have a sunroom or bay windows. If always inside, I'd probably leave them together (and save the space for diff plants. LOL!)

In order to keep these succulents alive, be very sure you do NOT overwater them, especially if they are staying in the house all the time. Stick your finger in the soil about an inch and, if it still feels wet, do not water. Err on the side of less water because they can rot easily.

When repotting Easter cactus make sure soil is in a cactus mix. Not regular soil! For healthy drainage. I have my cactus facing Eastside of our home. Not in direct sunlight! I use compost tea with worm castings! Get for new growth and next year blooms! cactus need room to grow any they love to be dry, too! Watch segments and leaves for shrinkage that means to water and plumb leaves is a happy plant
