Not just any Christmas Cactus but plant cuttings from my mother’s Christmas Cactus. Although my mother passed 25 years ago, her Christmas Cactus is thriving in Albany. Thanks E for cutting the pieces! And thanks to my sister for mailing the cuttings. They made it to Pittsburgh just fine.
I dried them off and let them sit a day as it said they’d be less likely to rot
I looked at YouTube and Google and there’s the water method and the dirt method.
I’m trying both.
Stay tuned. Hopefully there will be many plant children.
Schlumbergera is the Latin name
Here’s how to care for the Christmas Cactus
Amazing
I’m hopeful
Christmas are so pretty. What color is this one?
A deep pink. Thanks for looking
Both methods should work. Very cool history of the plant.
Good luck! I hope they thrive.
Very cool. Be sure to make a follow up post. Dc
Let’s hope something roots. Stay tuned.
I’m sure they will flourish and your mom’s Christmas cactus will live on. How special.
Yes it feels special. Thanks Darlene.
Such a special cactus with so much family history — what a lovely way to honor your mother.
Thanks you for your visit and leaving encouraging words.
Wonderful! Good luck! I have my grandmothers geraniums since 1988, and she had them when I was a baby!
Now that is amazing!
I think you’re right. Fingers crossed.
I have a Christmas cactus which came from my Grandma’s plant, which was passed along to my mom. Keep us posted.
That’s so wonderful
