Christmas Cactus

christmas cactus flower pink

I miss these plants. I had one of each color. I actually used to have 4 Christmas cactus and one Easter cactus. They're from the same family, but the leaf pads are different shapes, and the flowers were different. I handed them all off to my aunt when I was planning on moving. I didn't move, but they're thriving and I'm not going to pay for any more plants until I have an actual greenhouse. Growing plants indoors under lights just ends up depressing. African violets can thrive, but not much else that I really like, and my lighting options at windows are very limited. I get okay light in the winter, but only in the winter.
