Christmas Cactus - October 30th, 2004 at 03:42 PM
A week ago, I was given a large Christmas Cactus that was full of buds. It started blooming soon after, really lovely blossoms that are white with a gentle pink inside. I have never seen a Christmas Cactus up close and personal before and have no idea how to care for this one in the best way possible once the blooming phase is over. The research I did on-line confused me. Of particular concern is that it seems to be in a very small pot (4 in square) for such a large plant. Is this safe? And does the plant really need to be put in a closet at certain times of the year? I'd hate to damage this handsome plant through simple ignorance.
