Re: Holiday cactus

They are all over the Home Depots I take care of. I have brought home dozens of broken stems, and I have them all rooting in the same big pot. They should make an interesting sight next year. :o)

Subject: [CHAT] Holiday cactus
I know the stores are now full of blooming holiday cactus [Schlumbergera sp]--at least they are here--but the non-forced, unpampered ones growing in our shady areas and patios are not far behind. They're full of buds [one has two open flowers] and it's kind of fun to guess what colors the various plants will bloom. We have one in a basket hanging in the Jamaican cherry that must have 100 buds; ought to be spectacular if they more or less open at the same time, whatever their color.
