Here are the main things to keep in mind when caring for a Thanksgiving cactus：
1. They grow well in typical home conditions without much fuss.
2. They grow well in indirect light during the warm season, but prefer bright indirect light in the fall and winter.
3. A mixed soil works best for a Thanksgiving cactus. Try a mix of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark.
4. The soil for a Thanksgiving cactus should be kept consistently moist, but never waterlogged.
1. When grown indoors, a Thanksgiving cactus may need some help to bloom every year. Blooming takes a few weeks as the days get shorter and cooler.
2. This can be achieved by placing the Thanksgiving cactus outdoors in early fall to expose it to cooler temperatures, or by creating those conditions indoors.
3. A slightly potted Thanksgiving cactus is more likely to bloom, so repot your cactus every spring.
4. Cutting off wilted flowers can help extend the bloom period and encourage the growth of more flowers.
5. Thanksgiving cactus grows best in medium indirect light. Move it to a brighter spot in the fall and winter before it blooms, but keep it out of direct sunlight. A spot that gets bright indirect light is perfect.
6. Tropical cacti thrive in warm, humid conditions. Keep the temperature between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius. Average home temperatures are usually suitable for Thanksgiving cactus, so it is a suitable plant to keep indoors.
