​Education for members and the public is a big part of NGC. The Tusca-Ridge Garden Club in Pennslyvania recently shared information that many, many people have wanted to know; how to determine which one they have : Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter "Cactus". Here is what they posted:

"Here’s a guide to show the difference in the Holiday Cactus! They all have different color blooms! The blooms depicted are to show the form of the bloom to the plant.
**Most people who say they have a Christmas Cactus, usually have a Thanksgiving Cactus.**
Just compare your clades/leaves to this ..

Here are some growing tips:

1.Temperature and humidity. They’re from the rain forest, so they love acidic well drained soils. Use a cactus mix and add perlite, vermiculite and orchid bark. They’re not cold tolerant. Will need protection when temperatures drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit .. keep under a shade tree or patio. Not in full sun.
2. Do not over water - perhaps the number one reason for their demise in our homes. Neglect is better than over watering. Water when the top 2 inches of soil is dry. You could get a hydrometer to help
3. Misting them frequently helps increase humidity
4. Fertilize them with a all purpose fertilizer. I use Miracle Grow Tomato water soluble fertilizer 1 tablespoon to a gallon of non-chlorinated water , I feed mine 3 times a month.
5. Blooming - this is how they got their names as to what times of the year they bloom. They will need 10-12 hour cooler nights to set and form buds."
