Thanksgiving Cactus

My Thanksgiving cactus bloomer right on time (who knew that there are Christmas, easter and Thanksgiving cactus?)

I don't do anything special with this plant and it bloomed 3-4 times this year. It is in the living room bay window and I water it about every two weeks. Looking online, you are supposed to keep them moist - ha, this one should ever be so lucky. Actually, if I keep it moist it starts looking a bit shabby, so I let it dry out on a regular basis. It also gets full sun - although with our rainy and snowy fall, there has been little sun, so it has experienced a lot of unintentional darkness. And, the bay window is cool during the winter since I keep the drapes closed to conserve heat - but none of that explains it blooming at other times of the year. Oh well, I enjoy the blooms and that is all that counts.

I had to take a lot of pictures before I could get the ones posted above. Some of the other pictures:

Your Thanksgiving Cactus is more cooperative than the kitties when it's photo time. All three are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

I Killed my christmas cactus several years ago, I think I forgot to water it. Which makes me laugh a bit, but there you go. I keep meaning to try one again.....
