Care Instructions
Light
Provide bright, indirect light. Gentle morning sun is usually suitable, but protect the plant from intense midday exposure that can scorch the segments.
Water
Water thoroughly after the upper inch of potting mix begins to dry, then allow excess water to drain. Do not leave the pot standing in water.
Temperature and Humidity
Typical indoor temperatures of about 60–80°F are suitable. Protect from frost, heaters and sudden temperature changes. Average household humidity is usually adequate.
Encouraging Future Blooms
Thanksgiving cactus commonly sets buds in response to longer nights and cooler autumn conditions. Consistent darkness at night and moderately cool temperatures can support bud formation, but flowering dates are not guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose the flower color?
No. This listing is for one assorted plant, and color is selected from current availability.
Will it arrive flowering?
Not necessarily. Plants may arrive without buds or open blooms depending on season and shipping timing.

Usually not. Allow the plant to acclimate first, then repot only if the mix stays wet too long or roots have clearly filled the nursery pot.
