Just got done misting my, Iām not sure what holiday cactus, in all the ones Iāve ever seen or had, Iāve never seen a reddish pink one like this, its hard to see under this lighting but it has red tips. I think she looks pretty happy in her new home thoughš„¹
Iām also new to these holiday cacti just having gotten one recently. Did a bit of reading and from my understanding the shapes of the leaves can be used to tell them apart - spikey edges are Thanksgiving, scalloped edges are Christmas and smooth edges are Easter. The shape of the flower blooms differs as well. Honestly though they are all so beautiful!!
Thanksgiving Cactus šit is happy. The color change is in the newest leaves. I have two large ones and the new leaves do this when happy.
2 gillningar That makes me so happy, Iām glad she likes it here. When I brought her home from the greenhouse and repotted her there was mold or something all in her roots along with my little Ghost Echovaria, so I wasnāt sure if theyād make it. Glad I got her back to a happy state

They can get some really pretty sun stressing from strong lights too!
1 gilla This is the first time Iāve ever used a grow light for my plants but my bedroom only gets good sun in the morning, after about 11/12 it doesnāt get much sunlight so I wanted to make sure they were getting enough light, but itās only been a couple weeks with the grow light and Iāve noticed a visible difference. A lot of my plants need a lot of light so the grow light definitely is helping
0 gillningarThe red tips however pretty, can be signs of stress. Could be from too much light or even from moving to a new location. It should be okay though and you can enjoy the red color while it lasts.
1 gilla Weāll see, at first I thought it was because she was stressed. When I first repotted her after I brought her home there was mold in the roots and I wasnāt sure if sheād make it. However, even the new leaves sprouting out on 5 of the leaves, are all bright red, which makes me think itās actually the color of the plant rather than light stress. Sheās not getting a lot of light at all, only about 10-12 hours of grow light. Iāve only had her about a month now and sheās consistently been this color the entire time, thatās actually the only reason Iād gotten her at the greenhouse. Idk but I love her, and Iāve noticed sheās perked up considerably since I repotted her
I was thinking too much light š I only know from killing a few of these before I figured it out They grow in shade in the wild but I kept treating it like a cactus because of the name.
