So pretty 😍

Beautiful! Did you cover it for. so long in the dark and restrict water to get it to bloom? I have a Thanksgiving one but hasn’t had many blooms.

I didn’t, but I’m new to these plants. According to another comment on here I might have misidentified it. It might be a thanksgiving cactus.

I covered mine last year but didn’t bother this year. I would say I had more blooms last year

That one is a thanksgiving cactus; you can tell by the pointy leaves. Nice bloom

Really? I used the planta identifier because I didn’t know what it was. Should I change the identification?

#### Reva replied on 2026-11-06

I just looked at the plant, there’s another one in the same room. The other plant is a Christmas cactus, but you’re right this one is a thanksgiving. I changed the plant type. Thanks so much for spotting that!

Gorgeous. My thanksgiving one is flowering also, but my flowers are white.
