Wow, it is a variegated one. I thought it's just the lighting. Thank god it did not bear too many damages from last night wind. You have so many gems that I never heard of. May I shamelessly ask a broken pieces added to my package :). We will talk more in the email......

I have never seen one before,looks good after being banged around.

Amazing! Even after the wind

Gill, you might be right..It sounds like your right, but do you know Glenn that use to come here? he bought this one from across seas and told me is was a Christmas Cactus..I will message him and get a confirmation..But I think you might be right from the description of what you are saying...Some leaves actually look like CC..I will take close ups on what I mean...Also, looking for your e-mail later)))

Thank you))

Casual sweater...Thank you!!

Kingd, thanks..Yeah, it lost many segments, it use to be much fuller than that.

Hi Mike, yes I recall Glen from a while ago! Hi Glen if you are looking in!

As for my post above.....well, it’s a mixed blessing really...glad I got the ID correct for me, phew, but, sad that it turned out to be the wrong one for you! Does that make sense? Hope you’re not too disappointed to learn it’s a TC...it’s stunning! Pleased you got its actual name from Glen.

I’ve emailed you earlier :-)

Gill.

Gill oh it's fine..Whether it's a CC or a TC, what matters it's it's coloring and blooms..I thank you for your knowledge, you are a gem here!

I will look for your e-mail tonight)

Unfortunately that seller doesn’t ship to Canada, it’s wonderful though!

Casual. did you ever get my other package?

No fret, I can send you a piece if you like..E-mail me again , ok..)

I just sent you an email Mike, I haven’t received my package yet but I’m about to go check and mail yours!

If you don't get it today, I will give you the tracking number so you can see where it is...It should of been there by now, it's been a week. I suppose everything would be dead except the succulent, forget sending houseplants..ha

Mike))

What a beautiful plant! Georgeous!

It came today! The Jade looks perfect, the P. afra and purple ivy on the other hand are fairly wilted but the stems still look solid so I have hope they’ll recover eventually. I mailed yours tonight with a few extras! Can’t wait for you to receive it

Gill, Can you e-mail me . I could not find your e-mail on this site. I will look in my E-mail for your address...Gracious!!

Gill might be a good idea to give you my e-mail...

Mike

Hi Mike, I emailed yesterday after my first one to you bounced back due to me doing a typo in your address. Have you checked your spam for this second one?

I don’t really like putting my email on the forum as it’s open to be seen by everyone out there on the internet, not just the forum members. I honestly advise others not to do it really, maybe best if you delete yours.

If we ‘follow’ each other on the forum we should be able to privately PM each other via the Houzz system, I’m just off to ‘follow’ you, ha-ha! Let’s see what happens.....

Gill

edit, just been to your profile to follow you, once you’ve gone to mine and followed me, we should then both get the send a message or whatever it will say on the top right of each other’s page, think that’s what happens....what a lark!

Gill, no need to follow each other. There is a “message” button beside the “follow” one. If that is turned on, you can message that person. I follow nobody, but I have messaged several people.

Gill, thanks my friend. I e-mailed you back) Found it!

Thanks Dinie, I got your message :-) another thing learnt!

Gill

And I got yours, so it works both ways ;-).

Picture of mine. Purchased on ebay a long time ago. It is much bigger now.

When inspecting it, it has some all yellow again growing on.

New pictures just now.

Stush!!! Beautiful so beautiful!! Now you know why I will be e-mailing you right???

Thanks for such a beautiful pick and of course hope you are doing well!

That Madame Butterfly is beautiful!

I wish I could root some. I seem to have the most problems doing this. My all green ones, all I have to do in put in moist potting soil and in a week, it is taking off. The all yellow ones are the worst.

Mike do you have any problems starting new plants on this? Any tips?

Hey Stush. I use to have the very same one until the squirrels took it and then the mice ate my last baby rooting one on the floor of my greenhouse. I had rotted a few in the past and shared them , but I don't know where they have gone now. I miss mine, it use to be huge. I had no problem rooting it. You need to pull at least three segments with the most green color in it. If you have Bark mulch, pine or hemlock in particular, fill 'clay' pots to almost the top and just push the segment into it about 1/4 inches deep. I use powered root hormones on some and others no and they still rotted. Use a mister, do not water the mulch, just enough to wet the surface in a sunny window and it will be forced to shoot roots...The mulch gets very warm in the sunlight and carries heat..

Try that...Please look for e-mail. Hope this helps))

Last year the wind blew it off my porch and it had pieces all over the place. Try as I might, they all just rotted. My all green one blew off and almost all the pieces rooted with out doing anything. Go figure. I don't need to root any due to my plant doing so well now. Maybe come spring, I'll try again. Good luck with yours.

Hello Mike, just been looking at the plant at the top and noticed the pot it’s in, maybe when repotting time approaches it would be best suited to a wider, shallow style of container, half pots we call them here? That will give it more stability as the base of that white one is so very narrow and it’s a tall pot isn’t it, all very unstable. Would hate it to get smashed about again.

I had a case of a falling down TC also....one that I rescued from mums house when she moved into the Home, placed it in a hanging basket, just sat the pot inside it, chain snapped and whole lot crashed to the floor. The plant was smashed to bits, one half completely gone off a full circle plant of about 2ft diameter. I was so sad.....but each and every severed piece rooted again, I now have two plants......and new chains! The mother plant is in the process of regenerating all it’s lost limbs from low down on the smashed main trunk, it will soon have filled in the lost half of the circle. Buds forming on both plants as I write, so all was not lost of my Special plant :-)

Gill

Just saw this on Ebay. One un-rooted cutting selling for $65 plus shipping. Wow. Now if they find some fool.

I saw someone charging 50 dollars for an orchid and 90 for the shipping!

Would love a cutting of your varigated Mike
