I have a "baby" 'Rose Quartz.' I can't wait for it to get larger and produce those big beauties! So far, the couple blooms it has produced have been relative to the size of the plant... small, haha!

Thanks for sharing.

I feed mine with orchid food every 4th watering. Give it a try on yours. :)

Huh, I would of never guessed Orchid fertilizer lol.

It's beautiful!!

Do you think fertilizing my cacti more would encourage them to bud out?
And any suggestion on what kind would be good to use, you can see my collection of cacti on my "thought I'd share some pictures" post.. there's a bunch And. When i should actively bf be using it.

Nice! Flowers are flatter and rounder than mine. Sometimes wonder if mine is RQ, flowers are spikier. Anyway, I do like seeing this cultivar getting around! How long have you owned it?

KittieKAT Can use a fertilizer with an even proportion, like 10-10-10, 13-13-13, etc. I feed 1/4 strength every watering.
Sundewd is showing great success with orchid food every forth watering. Best time is during warmer months when the cactus is actively growing.

Yes, I would use more of a balance if I could find it, but I think mine is like 20-14-13 so not bad. I sometimes add some coffee grounds to my flowering plants as well. I got my first ever bloom in a year on a huge ice plant after adding coffers grounds so I am a believer now.

I actually have a Lobivia flower that opened as well but Idk if I will be able to get a picture of it before it closes. It's basically the same, just pinker.

Jealous that i have yet to SEE flowers or buds, thought my opuntia was budding...then someone said these were just pads..?!?! Sooo i guess I'll have to wait or tryssomething. I just always worry about fertilizer i ALWAYS think I'm gonna do it wrong or at the wrong time Salem MA weather is a challenge.

Yeah those are pads. All my Opuntias are waking up too. :D When they flower it comes up as a little round bud with a point without the growth leaves on it.

BTW, Ive had this rose quartz for about two year now in response to a quesrion.
