Is this a true christmas cactus or not?
Comments (6)Yes it is and I would say that you got a bargain:o) If it is red maybe we can do some trading. If that is allowed on this forum. Mine is bright pink. Mine is at least 15 years old. It is blooming now. Late winter/early spring is the best time to take cuttings. Best culture for this plant is bright indirect light. Can take some AM direct sun in winter. They love to go outside in summer in a shady, protected location. Soil should be well drained. Water well then let get nearly bone dry before watering again. Use half strength all purpose houseplant fertilizer (May-Sept), none in winter. I like to leave mine outside long enough to get some cool treatment (not freezing) in the fall to help with bud set.

Comments (5)Hello,. I was wondering if you still have some cuttings from your true Christmas cactus left. I had one a couple of years ago but lost it. I contacted the lady from here that sent me my original cuttings but she lost her great big one to leaving it outside too long in the fall. Since I found that out I have been trying to find some cuttings to no avail. This morning when I came on Garden Web I saw you had this cactus and were willing to part with some cuttings.. I would be more than happy to pay postage. At this time I do not have anything to trade except 1 pink Thanksgiving Cactus. I live outside of Chicago. Thank you. Hoping to hear from you....See MoreCCC Z6
