The Christmas Cactus we got from Mom's (and that she got from Nanny's) has gotten big. Like, really big. John wants to cut it back, but I love it, even though it is a little out of control. It is out of control but still very beautiful. I think we might just transplant it to a bigger pot and let it be as big and awesome as it wants to be.
Some of the cactus did get trimmed a few years ago, and we made a little plant from it. This week it started blooming and I continue to be impressed by how hearty this 60+ year old plant proves to be.

Does she have a name?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I call her Buddy. I pretty much call everyone I know buddy, so it works! :)
DeleteHahahaha. That's great.
DeleteVery different from what I think of in cacti!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I think it's neat.
