Jill & Judy, I have to retract my Christmas Cactus cuttings.
Just looked, and I don't have a Christmas Cactus in my pot anymore,
(Folks sent me cutting when I first came on this site, but they are just started cutting....in their own pots ) So what I have to offer is 2 Thanksgiving Cactus (unk color, I'll take cutting from two separate stalks) and an Unk color Easter Cactus plant. Sorry about that.....Thought for sure I had at least one Christmas Cactus in there, actually thought there were two and two.
Judy, Everything goes out in the spring, stays out until the temps drop to 50 degrees, except I do bring bloomers back in to enjoy inside since they are potted. I lost plants this year though. A lot of cactus look horrible from weird temps and cold.. I'd bring them in and take them out and bring them in and take them out. Don't remember a spring like the last one, never had this problem before. And I have a lot of tropicals and Cactus, and come spring I'm ready for them to go out and do a good spring cleaning. They do so much better out side too. Fresh Air, lots of humidity, rain water, and more like their natural environment. I've had Cactus that grew so much in a single spring, summer & fall out side I had to give them away, because they grew to tall for my ceiling. Then, this year, I had a huge really old Beloved Brazilian Rain Tree Bonsai, That I'd had for Years and Years, that I lost during the weird spring temps and rains. I was sick.
But I still believe it's better for them to be outside, when they can. Bugs and all...
