I received a 鈥淐hristmas鈥 cactus last year as a gift. It has done well. I think now that鈥檚 it must be a 鈥淭hanksgiving鈥 Cactus, because it has many little spines at the edges of every new leaf it puts out. I鈥檓 wondering if it might be two different plants, because two branches of of it blooms white flowers and the rest of the branches bloom beautiful red/fushia flowers. Could I try and separate them, or is it typical to have multiple colors from the same plant? I will definitely be trying to propagate from the branches when it finishes blooming this year (still blooming since Nov 23!), so I can try to get an all-white flowering plant as well.
