Attention cactus enthusiasts, are you looking for a holiday cactus plant that will make your home stand out? Look no further than the white Thanksgiving cactus, also known as Schlumbergera truncata, which is a beautiful cactus that blooms during the Thanksgiving season from November to February. It has flat, segmented stems of about 24 inches tall and wide; just like its red, pink, and white counterparts, but what sets it apart is its stunning white flowers. These flowers create a serene and elegant look, adding a touch of purity and grace to any space.

These Thanksgiving hybrids, which just make great houseplants with their rather unique flower arrangement, have been in cultivation since early in the 1800s and have had surges of popularity. Similar to other Thanksgiving cacti, the white variety also has the amazing ability to produce multiple flowers from a single areole. This means that from one point on the stem, you can witness a cluster of gorgeous white blooms, creating a truly breathtaking display.

Whether you choose the white Thanksgiving cactus or any other color variety, they all share the same easy-care nature. Just like other Thanksgiving cacti, it loves bright but indirect light for 4-6 hours daily, so placing it near a window with filtered sunlight is ideal. When it comes to watering, make sure to keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of your well-drained soil to dry out before watering again. Additionally, the white Thanksgiving cactus prefers cooler temperatures around 60–70°F in USDA zones 10–12, just like another holiday cactus, the Christmas cactus. With these simple care tips, your white cactus will thrive indoors and reward you with its stunning white blooms.

So, if you're looking to add a touch of elegance and beauty to your Thanksgiving celebrations, the white Thanksgiving cactus is a perfect choice. Its delicate white flowers will surely capture everyone's attention and create a serene atmosphere.
