11 years ago

grant and campv, thank you both for your advice on re-potting Christmas Cactus plant. Very helpful!!

Well I learned the first part of that right away!! The plant, which came from my MIL's nursing home window, had been sitting in a bathroom window here for like 2 years? Pot like a 4"? Dinky but plant doing pretty well for what it was...

I took everyone's advice and decided not to transplant right now since there were buds on the branches. But the window was cold and I thought I would find a better location.

Famous last words!

**CAREFULLY** I picked the little potted plant up and immediately 2 of the largest, nicest and most blossom-laden branches just fell off!!! Argh!!

I just wanted to say you both knew what you were talking about - lol!!!
