[Wanted] Christmas Cactus

[stephinalta]

does anyone have Christmas cactus cuttings they would trade or SABE for me? I want red, yellow & pink to mix in a hanging basket


I really want them for sentimental value, I think they are beautiful also, but they remind me of my grandma & she means alot to me. My grandma used to have a huge one that had red blossoms hanging from her front porch when I was a kid, I loved when it blossomed, she is the one who got me into gardening.


Thanks,
Stephanie

I didn't buy any, I had two nice ones just bloom, and alot of my indoor plants don't all survive over the winter. No more house plants for me til spring,and start all over again!

Dry hot forced air heat, as far as insulated? This place is at least a 100yrs old farmhouse,its lathe boards, with plaster on that then paneling. With bricks on the outside which was covered by siding? We have a basement and attic, and sunporch-not heated,summerhouse attached built with stone, with a cave basement, I call the dungeon, thats where I store my canned stuff. Also and attic up there, use to store all my junk! Ha! Think its poor lighting and lack of good spots to keep my plants sometimes dummy me forgets to water! Ugh!

Oh then dont blame the house..LOl
