    Was ist das und wie unterstütze ich es?

    Wie der Titel schon sagt: Was ist das und wie unterstütze ich es? Wenn es mit Bewurzelungspulver direkt in die Erde gelangt, wäre das großartig, aber welches Teil? Nur ein zufälliger Teil einer Pflanze, den ich im Laden gerne nehmen durfte (ich habe gefragt)

      Some type of Christmas cactus. Put it in a cup hovering above water but if the water touches it it could rot,, the roots will grow down towards water.

      the roots grow from the narrow end of each of those segments. it might put out roots from any of those nodes

      common method is to shove it into some soil so it can stand on its own, (bury that whole first segment and you will really have 4 nodes in the dirt, 1, plus 3). keep the soil damp but not soaking wet, it does rot quite easily.. and once you have a nice big plant its not uncommon for a whole branch to rot off at the soil level and require to be propped again. in this way it will multiply until you have WAY too many.

      i have never tried but i would guess that trying to prop this plant in a jar of water would be dumb, i would expect it to rot but hey lots of people on here have had success with water propping when its not recommended for that type of plant.

      *Schlumbergera*, an epiphytic rainforest cactus. Stick it in soil, keep the soil damp and it will root

      You can cut each little node apart then just lay them down flat on some potting soil. They’ll eventually start to root and sprout little buds. Cutting them separate ensures proper contact, and some may rot first, so give yourself the best odds. The flowers are some of the most gorgeous I’ve seen

      Just a bit of a note but once you stick this in soil, these are pretty slow growers so be patient.

      Interesting that the top two comments are about water propping leading to rot. I’ve only ever used water propping for my Xmas cactus. (Or thanksgiving cactus or Easter cactus) I have 7 plants and 5 props currently. All my props are just in tubes of water. YMMV I guess. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      Christmas cactus, the flowers come in a beautiful range of colors! You can prop the whole thing or cut it up into separate plants.

      I lay it on it’s side in a prop box, half soil hanf perlite. It is a Thanksgiving cactus. Laying it on it’s side prevents the first segment from rotting by accident because you’d have to barry it if you were to prop upright.

      I routinely prop these in a shot glass with 5 -10 mm of water. They root in a week or two normally. I use 3- segment pieces.

      I’ve had good success with just sticking holiday cactus straight in dirt and getting it to to root. I’ve got some chunks I found on the ground at the gas station rooting right now just by tossing them in a container of potting mix loose. Holiday cactus is probably one of the easier plants to propagate.

      Thanksgiving/Christmas cactus. I just stick them in soil and they almost always take just fine 🤷

    18. Cami1969 on

      Looks like a Thanksgiving cactus and you can split that into 2-3 pieces. Either let them dry for a couple days and stick in dirt or root in water.

    19. Reasonable-Help7278 on

      I need some of these I have none and I love them. Anyone have cuttings they’d like to share?? 🤣🤣🤣

    20. Reasonable-Help7278 on

      I’d chop it into several props more props bigger plant eventually. You can cut at the base of each leaf section or leave 2 leaves if you want.

    21. TooNoodley on

      Either a Christmas cactus, a Thanksgiving cactus, or an Easter cactus. Based on leaf shape, I’m going to guess it’s Thanksgiving cactus.

      Here’s my Thanksgiving cactus, blooming right on time!! Fun fact: these plants need to be placed right up against a window in order to bloom properly. It needs to be able to detect the differences in the duration of sunlight and the drop in temperature. (Source: had this for almost two years, started as a two node cutting, and it never bloomed. Saw to leave it by a window, and it’s bloomed the last two years)

      To prop: just stick it in moist soil and make sure it gets light. Don’t bother water propping, they’re almost impossible to transfer from water to soil.

      I have one of these, not sure if it is Christmas or Thanksgiving or what, but it is sloooowly dying and dropping off bits and pieces. I’ve tried so hard to prop them but have had minimal success. 🙁

    24. WitchesTeaFlint on

      I think most people call this the Thanksgiving cactus because of the pokiness of the leaves. As most mostly everyone else has said, stick her in the ground and watch her go.

      Christmas Cactus. One of my favorite plants to propagate. I always just let it sit with the base in water. Dip the cut section in rooting hormone powder and/or mix rooting hormone into the water.

    26. Necessary-Disk-4440 on

      Christmas Cactus. Easily propagated. Place in some water. You will see roots soon then plant

    27. HumanityIsD00m3d on

      Put the tip in water. I have 3 propping in tubes. It’s a Thanksgiving cactus

    28. Wonderful_Song8765 on

      Did you snap off a perfectly healthy stem from a plant you saw at a big box store?!? 🤣

    31. rickiver on

      I have one of them it just flowered after propagating a couple years ago
      I always called it a Christmas cactus idk if that’s right tho

    32. Forsaken_Detail57 on

      My Thanksgiving and Christmas Cactus are both fully loaded with buds about to bust open. I can’t wait. Then I have a Thanksgiving/Christmas cactus i rooted in the same pot last year from a broken peice of each and ill be darned if it don’t have buds already.

      Looks like a Christmas cactus but I’m not an expert… Mines going crazy RN.
