Are you asking about the TRUE Christmas Cactus or referring to all of them
under this name?
I DO have one REAL Christmas cactus. It has red blooms.

I do not have any starts potted and growing--but I will "donate" a section
of it to you if you really want it.

Last year was very hard on all CC's--not just for me--but also for JB who has been
our guiding light and educator in the care and growing of Holiday Catus as well as X-Mas Cactus.

I have (had) Holiday cactus of many different colors. All beautiful!
It had to be the weather, or something else, that made all my, and JB's, Holiday cactus
not doing well. She had so many--and I did too, We shared and sent these to each other.
Many of the stronger bloomers just did nothing to rave about.

What I have that seems to be doing OK are the starts of the pink Easter cactus. ????
NOT sure if these are really IT--as they have not bloomed yet. Otherwise--the rooted cuttings
are doing very well.

Here is my true X-Mas cactus in better days. I only have this one.
