If they can be separated easily I only insert one segment into the soil. What you see in the picture as extra-segments is new growth. To get a high humidity I use the plastic container once we've eaten the cake that came with it. I don't sell anything. From time to time I give away some of these Thanksgiving cacti, rooted (inside the European Union) or unrooted. I have 8 varieties and around 20 pots, some with a lot of rooted segments in them. When I root them in Spring some can bloom in the next Winter and also in Spring as, if they have the right conditions, they can bloom twice a year. Right now I have a pair of blooms in plants that bloomed last November. Regards Carlos |
