Fall Is Now Here Soon My Christmas Cactus Will Begin To Bud.

Fall is now here, Soon my Christmas Cactus will begin to bud. The weather is getting cooler and there is a crisp feeling to the night air. This year several peices of my Christmas Cactus has been broken off by one of my cats. I had picked them up and placed them in a small pot in hopes that they would take off and begin to grow. I had sever die and some take and root in the potting soil I place them in. I had to baby them quiet a bit in order for them to grow and be healthy. I beleive I now have about 6 small pots of cuttings that have taken off thanks to my cats. They seem to love them more then me. Dusty loves to try moving the large pot where my Christmas cactus is and sit in the window in the back of the house. The back of my house is a room where its a bookcase and ledge all around the back wall. This is where I have my Christmas cactus. It was my moms but when mom passed in 2000 my dad gave it to me. I had always loved them and moms always bloomed at Christmas Time. She has a green thumb for sure, I got that from her. As I love playing in the dirt and gardens around my house when I am able to do it. An during the winter and late fall you will see me playing with my Christmas Cactus making sure its fine before its time to bloom in all its glory. I will soon begin to keep a eye on my plants and see if they need new soil and give them one last feeding or two. As soon they will begin to show signs of budding. My baby Christmas Cactus may not do much this year but they sure will next year as they will be a little more mature and able to give me some blooms. I am planning on giving each of my sisters something they don't have for Christmas this year one Christmas Catcus that was Moms . I have already started my Christmas gifts as I am making both of my sisters crocheted afgans for the back of there sofa's. Linda my baby sister just got married and they have a small appartment and not alot of money for extra things. I know she loved home made gifts the best as they are from the heart. Dorene my younger sister is just 2 years younger then I am and she will love the gifts too. She is single and is now learning what home made gifts from the heart are all about. She's always loved bought things till recently.
