For anyone that has the false holiday cacti, when should my little guy flower? I have had it since November and I had buds but they never bloomed. It is doing amazing and has sooooo many new leaves growing. I just wish I could have seen the flowers š„ŗ
Iāve had mine for years without knowing anything about it until recently. My boyfriend shut the blinds on my plants for a few days. When I noticed I opened the blinds again. After a few weeks it started to bloom for the first time since I got it.
1 gilla Thank you, Iāll try not letting it too much sun for a little bit out of the day and see if it will do it. I appreciate it

They need between 14-16 hours of uninterrupted darkness and 8 hours of daylight for between 3 - 6 weeks to set flower buds.ā

Kezzy is right. Put the plant in complete darkness at night, no light leaks or turning on room lights or the process starts over. Use a cardboard box covered with a dark cloth to block light leaks to for 14+ hours. A cool room is best. Give it sun during the day and complete darkness at night. Remove when the buds appear. It should continue to flower on its own. Donāt fertilize while itās flowering.

Mine did the same thing ābuds fell off in the fall and no blooms. And now Iām getting a bunch of new growth. I just hope it blooms eventually! Good luck! šŖ“
