Does anyone know what are these bumps on my Thanksgiving Cactus? I couldnāt find any pests and the one directly next to it, has no problems. Thanks for any assistance.

exitJiraffeLooks like scale, if they come off with your fingernail. Youāll have to remove each one and treat with an insecticide. I do a check and spray every week when mine have scale. If not, could be edema? But Iām betting is scale.

SunnyIt looks like edema per googling āblisters on Christmas Cactus.

AdrianAgreed. Iād say edema. You can try to aerate the soil to help, or move it away from frequently opening doors or drafty windows or air vents. Donāt remove any affected leaves or itāll just spread to the next set of leaves. Itās not fatal or anything that can spread to other plants; just has to do with humidity and temperature changes affecting the plant. Keeping it somewhere with a consistent temperature that isnāt at risk of any drafts coming near the plant should help, and making sure your cactus is in well draining soil is also important. Iāve found edema affects epiphytic plants like this the most, so please donāt feel like youāre doing anything wrong. Hope this helps!

It didnāt seem to be improving, so I actually did remove all the affected leaves, and left what was unaffected, and it actually starting growing normally again and started budding and flowering. Thanks!
