Why do my Thanksgiving cactus turn thin and purple? They live in an east facing windowsill (just placed here for the picture).

    I would guess sun stress

    Turning purple like that is something plants do when they're getting too much light, but aren't getting sunburns yet. It's kind of like a tan. Move it to get less/less direct light. Also be aware that thanksgiving cacti are tropical succulents; in the wild, they'd grow in the mid level of forests and get diffused light

    The new growth often comes in pinkish and thin, and transitions to normal thick green bits over time.

      That bump is the start of a new leaf.
