Thank you for this contest. Your cactus are all so healthy and beautiful
Photo 1 - Christmas Cactus: Those flat leaves with pointed edges are so pretty. And when it flowers ehn, it will be so beautiful.
Photo 2 - Fairy Castle Cactus: This one is too cute, it really looks like small castle with all those small columns together. Those tiny white spines are so neat.
Photo 3 - Dragon Fruit Cactus: I like how you tied it to the wood to climb, it looks so strong and green. I pray it gives you plenty fruits soon.
Photo 4 - Fishbone Cactus: This one is my favourite. That zig-zag shape is just different, it really looks like fishbone. The reddish edge even made it finer.

Bang! This is the exact answer my friend!
When I planted them (got them from my mother, brother in law and sister in law), I did not know the names except the Dragon Fruit!
I went to research and only then I got the names!
It would be nice if I manage to have the Christmas Cactus to bloom...let's wait and see.
Concerning the Dragon Fruit...only after 5-6 months of trial and error, looking for the exact position specially for them to have enough sun, wow! It was complicated to get it grow!
Now it is growing nicely, again I hope I get some fruits after all the patience I took!
Thanks again for stopping by and participating!
Wish you well!
@progressivechef
You did very well with the Dragon Fruit. 5-6 months of trying is not easy. Patience is the real work in gardening. Now that it is growing nicely, I am sure fruits will come soon.
For the Christmas Cactus, just give it a little time, don't water too much, and give it some cool night air. I hope it blooms beautifully

Thanks @nevlu123 for the support 9
The 2nd one is really the fairy castle...actually they grew up a little big, I don't know why!
You know with what I was watering them recently!? Water from my brother's aquarium!!!
The cactus were enjoying that magic potion...
Thanks for your usual presence in WB!
Best Regards!
I checked many times wven i asked to goole is this fairly cactus and rely was 'NO' so i was very confident that its not fairy cactus.
I have 4 different cactus plants, one is like this 🌵, and Aloe Vera and one is pencil cactus ,last one is prickly pear cactus.
Oh that's nice my friend..
Does the prickly pear cactus gives you fruits? I ate so much when I was in Morocco, dont have it in Mauritius though.
Sorry to say dear, they all are in worst condition, I don't look after any plant . It was my daughter that cares after her marriage all flowering plants died only cactus are trying to survive
Ohhh this is sad.
If I were you...it will become a content material for me on my blog! Re-storing my cactus!
It could be a nice journey until they flower again!
By the way, I am happy to communicate like this instantly and would be great to have more users connected and be real you know.
Thanks for all the support in helping me build something clean and ethical for all our members.

Assalamualaikum , @progressivechef sir.
I love gardening. I also love collecting different types of plants. So I have some idea about plants.Besides, I have many types of cactus on my balcony. This is my entry:
1 - The plant is Thanksgiving cactus. It is also called Christmas cactus.(Schlumbergera, such as Schlumbergera truncata or related holiday cactus cultivars).It is a popular indoor succulent known for its flat, segmented green stems with pointed or claw-like edges.
2 - This plant is Hylocereus undatus which is featuring green, triangular stems with small white spines.it is also known as pitahaya.I have this cactus in my balcony garden too...!
3 - This is Dragon Fruit Cactus which is a Climbing Cactus. It is also known as Pitaya.This cactus plant produces a very delicious fruit known as dragon fruit. It is very popular in our country.This cactus is in our rooftop garden.
4 - This plant is Fishbone Cactus,which is also known as Zig-Zag or Ric-Rac Cactus.Its characteristic feature is its distinctive, deeply grooved trunks, which look much like fish skeletons.
Walaikoum Assalam @sinthiyaa!
Oh nice to read that you have cactus too.
When I was in Morocco some months back, I was shocked to see how cactus grow nicely over there! All types and shapes!
I will try add some more varieties if I see someone selling!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi @progressive chef
The Holiday Cactus is a beautiful flowering houseplant. It is different from ordinary desert cacti.
Types of Holiday Cactus:
Christmas Cactus
Thanksgiving Cactus
Easter Cactus
Likely a Cereus species. Its upright ribbed stems are covered with clusters of white spines.
This is a special type of cactus that produces dragon fruit. Dragon fruit is a delicious and nutritious fruit. It contains antioxidants and a good amount of water.
The Fishbone Cactus is also known as the Orchid Cactus. Its leaves have a unique zigzag shape that looks like a fishbone. It produces large, beautiful flowers.
Hello @roohiasif99! Salam and Jummah Mubarak!
Thanks so much for such a nice contribution in this comment challenge!
I have yet to see how the fishbone cactus' flowers will be...
Wish you a pleasant day/evening ahead!
Best Regards!
