Have you looked into any of the holiday cactuses?
1 j'aimeNo, how are they?
0 J'aimeHoliday cacti are really nice. Because they're tropical, thier care is similar to non-succulent plants. As for desert species, I've found barrel-type cacti tend to do well
1 j'aimeThank you! Do you know where I can purchase holiday cacti?
0 J'aimeA prickly pear is good too they are hardy where I live and they bloom every spring
1 j'aimeI'll look into that Thank you!
0 J'aimeI have a lot of luck with getting mammillaria cacti to flower every year. I stop watering around the first day of winter and don’t water again until the first day of spring.
2 J'aimeThank you so much!
1 j'aimeMammillaria are easy to get to flower as long as the proper light is provided
1 j'aimeAh yes prickly pears are great. They grow everywhere and I mean everywhere where i live and they get these lovely yellow flowers that turn into fruit! There are also two other species that flower and fruit but i don't know what they are called. One gives lovely magenta flowers and the other one serves up bright red flowers.
