I always wonder how does this plant know when to bloom? I mean bulbs planted in the ground know it’s time to bloom because the change of the season but this plant stays in the house all year long… Hmmmmm…. I just wonder?? Is there a calendar built in membrane that says Christmas is coming.. Chuckles. Anyway… I’m just loving my Christmas cactus… Here it is starting to bloom
I went out of town for a few days and came back to this
I paid a visit to the town thrift store to see what they had.. and saw a bag of these small ornaments (16) for $0.50..
and to think Target thought they had a bargain (but I know not)
So, why not add them to the Christmas cactus plant (after all – it kinda makes since being that they’re Christmas balls) like I did with the big dining room plant.
These things are so cheap.. I think I’ll use them in the garden for a bit of whimsical all year long…So I’m headed back to see if they have any more larger ones…. and if I luck up.. you’ll be the first to know….. TaTa….
Your plant is beautiful. How long have you had it? Good that you were home to capture it in bloom. The ornaments are right on too.
Thanks Linda, I’ve had it for about 3 years – and I’m happy too.. the other one hasn’t bloomed yet..
That’s a really fun idea! I’d copy it if I had any actual living plants here! 🙂 I wonder how those things know to bloom, too. It’s weird. Nature just has its own way, I suppose.
Alycia, you’re too funny, you should give this plant a try.. they’re easy.. and being in the cactus family – requires very little watering or attention.
I love the ornaments in the plant. So festive! And you def got a great deal!
Thanks Michelle
