Check your Christmas Cacti!

I moved my plant stand to clean the floor (yes, I actually do that sometimes) and the part of the plant with outside exposure is covered with buds!

The other 3 plants do not have buds yet? Do yours?

I don't have a Christmas catcus here, they only sell miniture ones here, but always like to see Christmas lights on them.

Bobbi, here's a link to an old thread (well, not that old....), with some info on Christmas Cactus.

I had one once, but, guess what.....I killed it!

Mamu, has a monster sized CC!

I moved mine away from a southern facing window and within a few days it exploded with buds. It hasn't bloomed yet though. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with moving it away from the window or if it was a coinkidink.

"coinkidink."
Thanks for reminding me.
I just checked mine and sure enough it's got some buds! It's never been in bloom for Christmas.

The monster's in bloom!

One problem thought, when I took the plant in for the winter the pot started to disintegrate. I'll have to re-pot when it's finished flowering. I have it sitting in another pot on a stand. I've always had it hanging in the kitchen window. It's outgrown the window and its pot. Time for a stand.
I just measured it from flower to flower 35 inches. I can hear it calling now "Feed Me Mamu"

Mamu, that's an incredible (and somewhat frightening!! lol) size!!

Any chance of a pic of your monster?
