  1. Our #ChristmasCactus has started budding again! I'd like to believe this is some kind of omen for the coming year.

  6. A bloom on a 100 + year old Christmas cactus. It is just starting to bloom good for the season. This plant has been passed down from Susans ancesters and now sits on a vintage sewing machine in our livingroom window. It will be loaded with blooms within a few weeks. She told me the history of this cactus and how it was passed down from generation to generation and finally to her.

    Oh, the weather outside is frightful, or still gloomy. So, here is just some warm feeling inside.
    Have a good evening and a great weekend, everyone.

  17. #WeeklyPlant Week 31

    There’s an hashtag going over on Mastodon where each week, from Monday to Sunday, people share a plant photo tagged with #WeeklyPlant. You don’t need a garden, nor an house plant to participate. Saw a weed on a wall on your way to work? Share a photo with the hashtag and the number of the week and you’re in. You also don’t need to talk about the plant, just the photo will suffice. But if you want to use this as an excuse to learn something new every week, go ahead.

    I’m starting with this schlumbergera, also known as Christmas Cactus, because they flower around then. But don’t get fooled, unlike cacti, they like humidity (perfect for bathrooms), and don’t do well with strong sunlight, nor very high temperatures. In Autumn (Europe), in the months before flowering season, you can move them to a cooler and more darker place to stimulate buds formation. When they appear, you can move it back to its original place.

    If you want to propagate it, choose three leaves in Y form and pinch them at the arrow in the photo. Taking these cuts in the Spring will also encourage the plant to get more stems and thus more flowers.

    Leave it for a day or two so it dries a little bit and then plant it, pushing the bottom into no more than 1 cm in a well draining small pot with compost. Once the roots are formed, you can move it to another vase.

  21. Update on the Meantime

    A little while ago in a post entitled In The Meantime, I wrote that my Christmas cactus had at last begun to show signs of blooming. On the advice of the florist in my local flower shop, I moved the pot to a sunnier location and it worked like a charm. Ta-Da!

  22. Looking at a flowering #christmasCactus and suddenly thought, how have I been seeing xmas cacti my whole life but I've never seen any fruit? I guess they just rarely get fertilized in a home environment?

    Here's a Reddit pic of a fruit from a duck-search. They look pretty cool, I think I'll try the paint-brush technique and see what happens.
