Life is "mind over matter". If I d
Thank you all!
Glad this helped someone--even just ONE person--and then that one
person will pass it on, and on and on....and so we accumulate all that needed
garden information that does, eventually, make us great gardeners....

Just want to add a quick tip here on trimming back Holiday Cactus sections.
Do NOT cut off or just break off the sections. You need to gently TWIST them off!!
I think it has something to do with leaving a necessary little "nub" on the ends
either on the section pulled off--or on the section remaining--that has to do with it growing
further, or growing roots from that point.
Not sure of the reason....but it makes sense to me!

Yoooohoooo, JB!!!! What do you say???? Come set us straight!!!
