Hi Nancy,
I don't have a var. christmas cactus to trade, but just wanted to say I have a cousin with your name, well it was her maiden name. Small world huh?

Nancy, Just wanted to mention that I have found the variegated Christmas cactus very difficult to grow well. Have never had trouble growing the solid green species, but have lost the variegated one several times so have given up on it. Friends have also told me they too have had difficulty growing this plant well. Might want to rethink that.

hello nancy. this is calin in romania.
would love to have 2-3 cuttings from your queen of the night.
got in love with it when i was in taiwan.
i know they can take long rides in envelopes. so would not be a problem to send it over the ocean.
i don't think i have plants that would make it to the other side of the ocean.
I have some huo-long-guo (fire dragon fruit) that i could send you a cutting if you are into cactus like plants.
search for dragon fruit or pittahaya.
or i could send you seeds. this would be safer in a way.
if you are willing to send me some cuttings to make sure at least one survives... [edit: send a PM with contact info]
Would really love to have one here
thanks
Calin

Do you have regulations in your country for shipping plants or cuttings? How long is the quarantine?
