The red Thanksgiving cactus, Schlumbergera truncata, is a gorgeous cactus that blooms during the Thanksgiving holiday season. With its flat, segmented stems and vibrant, beautiful red flowers, this holiday cactus adds a burst of color and beauty to any space. What makes it even more interesting is its ability to produce multiple flowers from a single areole. This means that from one point on the stem, several flowers can bloom, creating a stunning display.

But wait, there's more! Alongside the Thanksgiving cactus with red flowers, there are other flowering varieties of the Thanksgiving cactus to choose from. For example, there's the pink Thanksgiving cactus, which showcases delicate pink flowers. If you prefer a softer, more subtle look, you might love the white Thanksgiving cactus, which boasts beautiful creamy white-colored blooms. These different varieties give you options to match your personal style and preferences.

No matter which variety you choose, all Thanksgiving cacti make wonderful additions to your indoor garden. The cactus Thanksgiving is not only visually appealing but also easy to care for. Just provide them with the right amount of full sunlight to partial shade for at least 4-6 hours daily, minimal watering, and well-draining soil, and they'll thrive.

To encourage flowering, adjust nighttime temperatures slightly or grow indoors if you live outside USDA zones 10–12. Keep your Thanksgiving cactus wet (not waterlogged) during the flowering cycle.After the blossoms have dropped, you should reduce your water usage for a few months.This is the time to repot your red Schlumbergera truncata if necessary.If the Schlumbergera is disturbed, it readily loses cactus flower buds.Do not move your Thanksgiving plant once flower buds have grown, as even small environmental changes may cause the buds to drop.These forest cacti live for a long time.
