Is my thanksgiving cactus actually going to bloom!? I got these cuttings from my sister’s plant in April and definitely was not expecting it to bloom this year.

      You should get one! I have found them pretty easy to care for, just slower growing in my experience anyway!

    I don’t want to be a downer but when I got buds like that on my little guy, it was new leaves

      Hard to tell from the picture but these are pretty round whereas when they got new leaves they were still pink but looked more flat and shaped like the other leaves

    those are indeed buds, not new leaves! (new leaves will be flat) i had a big rescue mission this spring from root rot (these suckers will just quietly rot, poor communication lol) and i wasn’t expecting much. but i noticed yesterday she’s loaded up with little buds! 🥳
