My "true" Christmas cactus turns 53 years old this year. My Grandmother gave me a start off of hers the December before I got married in 62.

Needless to say, she is on my mind quite often.

How beautiful. Judging by the cactus and the other plants in the background, you must really have a green thumb.

Gerbie, I would love to "show off" my plant, but I have never been able to post a picture. I spent about 4 hours trying to load pictures in my album, only to find out there were none there. and by the way, I never keep mine in the dark. It is in the sunroom, and gets the street lights all night, plus another lamp that comes on at 5pm and goes off at 1 am.

absolutely beautiful...I love that plant...had one but it died... :( now that I see yours I'm tempted to get another one!
|
You did good! That plant LOVES you!!!
|
My pink, white and coral are all blooming now, but not as 'luscious' as yours. Enjoy...................

Beautiful....I use to have one that my ex-husband inherited from his great-great grandmother. We counted over 500 blooms on it. I don't know much about it now that I no longer have contact with him.

It looks gorgeous.

Oh I hope mine comes out like this!! U do have a green thumb,it's beautiful

I have one I started last year from a single leaf we found on the floor at Costco. Picked up the leaf that had been walked on and kicked aside. Carried it home in a pocket and laid on the counter for a day before putting it in the cactus soil. It now has 3 new leaves and a bud on it. I am so excited about the bud. Hoping is will bloom by Christmas. I use Liquid Cactus fertilizer on it when I water it every to weeks. It also likes the west window it sets in.
