My family has a Christmas cactus that is over 100 years old. It belonged to my faternal grandfather. It was given to my Mom when he went into a nursing home years ago. He is no longer with us. Mom wanted me to take it home after several years at her house. Since it was huge, I had no room for it because my house was full to the brim with all of my plants. I have a super green thumb and all plants thrive at my house. Probably inherited it from Grandpa. So our cactus finally went to one of my younger brothers. As far as I know, it still blooms regularly. It has pretty dark pink flowers. Enjoy yours because flowers bring beauty to one's day. :) I no longer have flowering plants because of my allergies.
