Thanksgiving cactus

Blooming Thanksgiving cactus (Schlumbergera truncata)

My Thansgiving cactus bloomed! Which is amazing because I didn’t intentionally do anything. The grow light it is under did stop working for an undetermined amount of time (if we have a power outage of even a microsecond the timer resets and I don’t typically notice for awhile). I have read that to get a christmas cactus to bloom you need to give it less light, less heat, and less water. So maybe this reduced light did the trick. I haven’t changed my watering schedule (if a plant can’t handle my watering schedule, it is not a plant for me, because I won’t remember a different schedule), and we keep the temperature of the house fairly constant during the winter (there is a different summer and winter temp, but within the season, it doesn’t vary much). Any who, it is a nice splash of bright color!
