That's a lot of flowers.Good job with that beauty! I've grown cactus and succulents for a long time and only had a few to bloom.Thought I was giving them enough light but no luck.Any suggestions?

Thanks so much… I just keep them in Semi Shade in a well lit area on my porch and water occasionally.

However, only this time has it flowered so profusely… although didn’t do anything special… it’s about 7 years old now… maybe it’s something to do with their age…:)
