Christmas Cactus




It never ceases to amaze me how, despite our lack of care, this Christmas Cactus always knows when to flower - the buds never appear until second week in December and the flowers start in the week preceding Christmas Day.

According to the information at the link attached, we are doing totally the wrong things in its treatment, but the plant obviously has a strong will to survive.

You obviously mistreat your plants in a more creative and fruitful way than I do. :-(
