I have white also Balcony but it has died back and only has 3 buds this year.
They are late this year too. I think it's because I haven't watered them since October.

Itβs very pretty.

Hywel, you are lucky they survived at all! I never let mine dry out, I only water less in the winter. I only really start to water them more frequently when I see the buds appearing.
Shame your white one has hardly any flowers. Perhaps if you keep them a little damper over the winter they may flower for you again next year.

Thank you Balcony ...
The white ones are small plants, they never grow much, and they have also died back a little bit.
I didn't water them last winter because they're in an unheated greenhouse and I didn't want them to get frosted.

Another pretty pink one, Hywel! Like pretty pink stars.

This is really lovely, Hywel! π π π
I've been growing these Easter Cacti for 20 years or more! My plants have flowered again this year. In fact the cutting I took of it has only just finished flowering.
I used to have it in other colours as well. I had dark red, orange, yellow & white! Beside the pink of course, which is the only colour I now have.
