How To Purchase A Christmas Cactus

When you go to purchas your Christmas Cactus you want to make sure you look for shiny green leaves on your plant. Your Christmas Cactus should have small buds or small blooms on the plant before you take it home to where you will be placing it inside your home. You can find them from late October till December just before Christmas Time. The best time to purchase one is in Mid November as it takes 6 weeks to bud and begin to bloom for Christmas. You can purchse your Christmas Cactus from a grocery store, Walmart, Home Depot, Loews or any garden store. If you check the stores just after Christmas alot of stores will have them marked down or ready to trash. Ask you store manager if you can purchase one that is ready to be discarded. You can pick it up for a buck or two this way and get yourself a differnt color. They come in many different colors as they bloom. Just look around a grab one. You may not be able to tell what color it will be until next year since the blooms will have fallen off or died up. Best day to pick they up is about the 27 of December if you want one for just about nothing. You will have a wonderful time watching it bud before it opens into blooms next Christmas and be surpised by all its glory and the color you chosen for your buck or two Christmas Cactus. I hope when you purchase your Christmas Cactus you will love it as much as I do.
