A friend made this for me years ago. It goes nice with my
two cactus plants that are about ready to bloom for Christmas.
They are special because one belonged to my grandmother and the other to my aunt Glenda. Both passed on now but remembered everyday.
Richard is feeling better, and I have not caught covid. Hope it stays that way. Kitty is fine.

Good morning Nancy Jo, those are beautiful! So glad to hear Richard is doing better and you are healthy as well. I just bought me another Christmas cactus that is full of buds and a few blooms. I usually don’t have much luck keeping them alive, but when I do though, they don’t bloom again. Do you have any advice for me?

Wanda Sue,
Well lets see, they need a sunny spot, water when the surface feels dry, I feed mine a little miracle
grow plant food, like a spoon full mixed in warm water every few months. Don't feed a dry plant. water it a bit first. Also put them on the front porch on a plant stand in the summer. my front porch has a roof.
They really like that. But you don't have to do that. Also they do their best in clay pots not plastic.
Hope this helps, don't drowned them and don't let them get bone dry.

My cactus is just finishing up blooming. It still has a bloom to open and I saw another bud on it today.
Your tree is so pretty. I have a green one similar to yours.

Nancy Jo, those pottery Christmas trees are so sweet and yours looks perfect between some Christmas Cactus plants. It is a perfect holiday greeting by the back door too.
