Finally.. the Christmas cactus is blooming 🌸🌺

I got a few cuttings from my parents and planted them in three different pots and tried to get them to root in different ways, just to experiment. The one getting the most light is the only one to have grown new leaves and I got a single flower a couple of weeks ago which was exciting.

A flower already!! Damnnn that’s impressive

I have always just put them in water and waited a few weeks until the roots appear from the node(similar to a potos). 3 nodes best with bottom 1 in water

My best growing area was shaded outdoor (humidity) in houston. Went wild blooming

Idk I think it’s a hearty plant but grows slow

I tried some in water, and some just dry. Some I took out of water as soon as they grew and some I waited until the roots were longer. I should have kept track of them all. The only one that bloomed was near a grow light and I realized that the grow light was hitting just that one cutting so I moved a pot under the grow light and it's going crazy with growth now.
