Christmas Cactus At Home Depot.

The Christmas Cactus at Home Depot were very beautiful this year. Recently We went to pick a few things up at Home Depot to decorate our home when I spotted them just at the door to go into their garden center. A large display of Christmas Cactus sitting on a 3 tear table. The colors were just fantastic as they were in bloom reds, pinks, whites,rose and other shades also. They have large pots and smaller pots and even hanging pots of this beautiful holiday plant. There were also poinsettia there but my eye went to the cactus as always. Some already in full bloom while others just in bud.

While I admire all the pots and inspected them I could not decide which one I wanted. There was a pot that must of fallen and a broke several of the stems off, it looked beat up and placed in a cart where a employee was removing it off the shelf where it had been sitting. I asked her what would she do with it and she told me they discard it and put it in the trash that "no one will buy it" she said. I asked what they would sell it for and she said she was not sure that she would have to find out. About 10 minutes later she found me in the Christmas Decoration isle and she asked me if I still wanted it. Sure I replied how much, she told me her manager said 25 cents as it was all broken and they would of just trashed it any way. She had tagged it mark down and I placed it in my cart to bring home.

I went over to the bags of potting soil and grabbed a small bag of soil for my Christmas Cactus. I picked up a nice red pot that would look nice for next year when it will bloom again for me. I picked up a few more odds and ends for the tree for this year and checked out paying for my Christmas Cactus and other items I had placed in my cart.

After I got home I took the broken pieces and put on the side, then I put the main part of the plant in the new pot and pressed it down adding more potting soil around it. I made a small hole with my finger and placed the broken pieces in the dirt hoping that they will root. I water my Christmas Cactus and placed a clear bag over the top of it and placed it in the back room where my other Christmas Cactus are. Giving it a new home. I will keep checking on it to see if with in a few weeks if it has begun to root. I love my new Christmas Cactus.
