My Christmas Cactus surprised me with another flower!!!!

This was the Schlumbergera bridgesii I bought and immediately had to transplant because I didn’t have a pot big enough, and all the blooms fell off right away before they all opened. I’m so glad this one likes this spot on my windowsill, and I’m ESPECIALLY glad that it enjoys being in a pot with no holes on the bottom. I feel very validated. (I HATE when pots have to have a plastic liner pot inside them.)

I’ve had success multiple times with keeping hole-less pots, but online people always freak out when they see it happen unsuccessfully. I know my room’s temperature and air humidity well enough to know how to water these. (I actually water this Christmas Cactus like every other day! This window gets very hot, and paired with my space heater usage, it NEEDS a few drops to keep a consistent atmosphere.)

Anyway, I’m very happy to see this neon pink flower open up. The rest of my Christmas Cactus pieces all got planted into hanging planters above my vanity recently (I got sick of having too many small pots of them taking up so much space), so hopefully hy the time they grow a bit more, they’ll all drape some flowers down the sides for me.

(Also, please ignore the corner of failed moss rehydration in the last pic… I’m actually gonna add a different moss and let that grow on this stuff instead of try to rehydrate the dried stuff.)
