_Geplaatst door Lex op 2025-12-03_

This is my first year working with a blooming Christmas cactus. This one started opening up and just within a week, the blooms seem to be kind of closing up and drooping maybe.. Or is this how it should look? Am I doing something wrong?

My blooms on my thanksgiving cactus don’t last longer than a week and usually look similar to this🤷🏼‍♀️

I was wondering the same thing I got two and my orange one looks just like yours. The pink one has been holding on.

Yes 100% natural! All flowers die (even when attached to the plant sometimes) when they start to shrivel pick them off because a new bud may show up in its place!
