The plants are not mine; I was just taking care of them while she was out of town on business. To be honest, I don't think she knows much about plants. I will remind her that she doesn't have to water the Christmas Cactus very often and to let it dry out before she waters it again. I've watered it once in 2 weeks and it is still a bit damp..Looks like it needs repotting. The plant belonged to previous renter who died last year. I will mention it to the son of the deceased..let him repot it. He told her she could set it outside back in June but we've been having 100 plus temps for last few weeks..We had a break in temps for two days but today it is almost 90 again. But 90 is better than 102, 104, and 107..

When we lived in our former home, I bought New Guinea impatients one year for under a cherry tree and they didn't do well. The ones that did the best were the Dazzler impatients and you don't find them anymore. I haven't seen them in the garden centers for years.
