Yesterday the Christmas cactus came inside. The evening had the season's first frost warning.
During the summer it lives in a shady area on the back porch, largely neglected except for minimal watering and a few doses of Miracle Grow. And it thrives.
My aunt and uncle had a huge Christmas cactus in their glassed-in entry way, and I always admired it. Always wanted one like it.
It wasn't until I had a shady back porch for summer and a north east facing window for the other seasons that I had one that happily grew.
Now we'll see how and when it blooms. Last year, I think, it was around Thanksgiving.
