    What is that yellow orchid cactus behind it?

    very neat Crassula.

    Its the (increasingly rare) true Christmas Cactus. I cannot explain why it is yellow. The mother is green.........Its just plain old C.ovata. They were cuttings that he said would end up in the garabage if not given away.....

    If anything, its too much sun. Even behind the jade its still bright. I moved it there to shield it from the sun, my chief idea of why it is so yellow

    The pot next to it has a Philodendron hederaceum in it....

    Jade cutting in the baggie tent? May I ask why? They don't need humidity from the baggie...

    Your jade cuttings are looking good. They can take lots of sun as long as they are acclimatized - but you know that :) All of my succulents have been (and still are - it is cold today!) outdoors and done very well, jades have great color. Few get very little shade from some other plants, and it is interesting to see difference in color.

    Christmas cactus could be light color if too much sun, only way to find out is to put it into less sun. I don't have one, only TC that is outdoors and it is in 'full sun spot' but shaded somehow by other plants. It does get lots of sun, but not the mid-day. This is the current color - uppermost segments are yellowish, below are more and more green (I just took that snapshot and it is raining...):

    Sorry Rina, I was typing too fast and my fingers couldn't keep up with my brain.....well...my thumbs.

    I edited/fixed the post though.

    Rina, that's an amazing plant! How many do you have?

    Oh, so that is the Christmas cactus cutting in baggie...that's better :) (mind you, I never tried baggy method).

    If you are asking about that TC in last photo, I have only one. Well, I took some cuttings and they are rooted but they are still small. I tried photo of whole plant - poor thing it is squeezed in same pot with tall Euphorbia milii (folowing pic of one of the trunks):

    Nice TC. I have TC too but treasure my CC, you can't really buy them at stores anymore, they are hand-me-down plants. I got mine when we moved in a new apartment and the person previously living there just left it there!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Take care of it Rhamel...what a good way to get prized plant :)

    Rhamel, I've been looking for a true CC. Contact me in the spring to see if we can work out a trade.

    I'm open. I have a huge plant(the photo is merely a cutting) True CC eventually will become a true rarity :)

  • 11 years ago

    Rina? I can't tell if that CC is overlapping and in the container with the bulb. Or, is that small cuttings of the CC in with the bulb? Your EM is growing in with the CC?? I think its time for my medicine again!

  • 11 years ago

    No medicine needed Neil, you are right. E. milii is in the same pot as TC. The pot isn't visible and it is smaller than one with the bulb. The bulb visible in top photo is a separate pot. That euphorbia is very tall, I was planning on cutting it (few years of procrastination...) - it has 3 long stems, 48", 42" and 40" tall. Last photo is from above of one of the stems.
