Christmas Cactus Reviews

I just wanted to give you some review on how some people like their Christmas Cactus. If you have a Story About your Christmas Cactus please let me know so we may share it with others. I will be placing on the site how you can order your own Christmas Cactus soon.



Customer Reviews

Wonderful plants5
I love these plants. They arrived in good shape. They are so easy to take care of. A little water and they turn dark green. I only regret not getting the salmon colored one and the pink star variety. Take my advice once you get one you love the easy care for them and the spectacular blooms (they have pedals that extend down a couple of inches to the center of the flower. They are literally 3D.) and the vivd colors.

A Must have..great gift idea too.5
My three arrived in fine condition, and very well packed, in only 3 days from date of my order. And, I'm across the country. Good job getting the order out right away by Hirts, and kudos to the Post Office.

These plants make a very nice gift especially before the holiday season, so they will be in bloom when Thankgiving and Christmas time rolls around. I've had these before when living in Northern California, but first time trying them here in the Desert Southwest, was last year, and I still have those plants.

These will stay indoors during summer months here like now, but should be fine outside sheltered most of the rest of the year, as we get cool nights here which these like, 6-7 months out of the year.

I ordered the Fuscia, Orange, and Peaches and Cream this time. Too soon for buds yet, but looking forward to these colors .

I am ordering again today from this vendor, as I need a couple more for gifts.

Nice and healthy5
Ordered 3 plants of different colors last weekend and promptly got it this week. This one is nice and healthy with several branches. Looking forward to seeing it grow to the size in the pictures with the nice flowers.

My Christmas Cactus Is Now Starting To Drop Blooms

My Christmas Cactus Is now starting to drop its blooms that was so beautiful this Christmas. Its showing signs that the blooming time is almost over as its has begun to drop its flowers that had just been hanging at the end of each section of my big beautiful Christmas Cactus. As the blooms die and being falling off I know its all most time for me to let it rest for a few months. I will then move it to a new resting place where I will let it rest till its time to begin to fertilize it for the new growth to begin in the spring. I will still water my cactus not letting it remain dry all the time. Around the end of February I will start to feed it so that the new growth is health.

I lost a piece of my Christmas Cactus recently and I want to show everyone how to replant it. I will be making a small movie and display it on the site. But for now if you have a piece drop off do not trash it if the piece of the Christmas Cactus is in good health. Place it on a zip lock bag and use a small spray bottle to mist inside the bag and zip the bag up, but remember every 2 days or so you will have to reopen the bag and remist it till you get it planted. To plant please pick up some Christmas Cactus Potting Soil, a small pot with a drain hole on the bottom and a saucer to let the plant excess water to run off in it.
