Nice color of blooms.

Can someone please educate me on what “sun stress” is?

The red tinged leaves are caused by getting too much direct sun.

It’s only too much if they start to burn, otherwise it’s fine

When you ease a succulent into lots of light and the colors change without burning.

Beautiful! My father in law gave me one of his Christmas cactus recently but then quickly added “if this turns out to be the one with yellow blooms I want it back” 😂. Those yellow ones are hard to come by I guess.
Edited - I meant thanksgiving not Christmas cactus. Keep forgetting that I know the difference now bc all my life we just always called every variation Christmas.

Lol never mailed any plant parts. But I always give plants and clippings to people who visit!

Question! How do you take care of this plant and what's its name? My mom has at least two similar ones and they always look like they're about to die. She has lots of plants and she loves caring for them, but she must be doing something wrong when it comes to this particular kind, it's the only one that doesn't look OK. Of course there are no blooms either.

Known as a Christmas cactus. Indoors they enjoy bright indirect light. Although I achieved this color by summering it outdoors. Blooming usually occurs when hours of daylight change, you could encourage blooming by moving the plant to either more or less hours of light. I water when the soil is quite dry and a few segments start to feel thin.

Thank you! I'm pretty sure she waters it too often

Love the yellow. Now I have new goals!

Oooo I’ve never seen them in yellow before. Is that due to sun stress?
Nope, always been. Hand picked him out of a fresh shipment back when I worked the greenhouse.
