She is no longer on DG--but she sure knew a lot. I learned much of the care for CC's (Christnas cactus) from her. Of course--you DO know that the usual CC we know is actually a Thanksgiving, or Holiday cactus. There IS a true Christmas cactus--as well as an Easter cactus. The true Christmas cactus "leaves" have NO points on them. The "leaves" are smaller and thinner--and the blooms hang straight down--NOT pointing up as the Thanksgiving cactus. I have all of these. --1--Here is a typical Holiday cactus--blooms pointing UP. --2--3 This is a true Christmas cactus--slim sections and blooms pointing straight down. |
