HAVE: True Christmas cactus cutting

9 years ago

last modified: 9 years ago

Just trying to find a new home for a small branch that broke off my large plant, the stem is a little woody and it has around 20 segments. From a healthy plant that flowers well. It is a true Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera x buckleyi) and blooms in December, unlike the much more common Claw or Thanksgiving cactus which is done blooming long before Christmas. Photo is an old one of the same plant the cutting is from.

Looking to trade for a cutting from another variety of Claw or Christmas cactus, preferably a yellow or orange variety as I don't have many that color.

Hi, I have a salmon coloured Claw Cactus and I would willingly swap for a cutting from yours. Are you in the UK?

I responded, but on the wrong site. Yes, I would like cuttings of your cactus. Is it red or pink? What do you want in trade? farmerann

Hi...I was looking for a zig zag cactus, but I'm sure we could figure something out. I'm right outside Springfield. My CC is blooming right now. I can take some cuttings right after.

Grant, I hope you get a / some taker(s). To add multiple pics, put multiple image codes, one following the other and separated by line breaks, in your message's body, just as you would one pic for one post.
