I love Christmas/Easter/Holiday Cactus! I bought some plugs on eBay last year. I put them around an existing plant that has grown there for years. The plugs have died out slowly. Please tell me how much water they need and how often. There is a heat vent above them which is somewhat diverted by a pothos. The cactus looks a little wilted. I pulled off dried out leaves from the tops and tossed them in the trash. I am wrapping the remainder in plastic for now and usually misting once a day. I know it needs fertilizer, but not sure when. (On the good side I do have one white bud and have had about 4 reddish flowers from the big central cactus.)

They are kept in a window ledge pot in a north window. There are large evergreens about 15 - Lovey dubby 20 feet away from the window. The window is well insulated. My husband is particular about those things. Suggestions please!

And JB I would like to purchase/trade that orange cactus but imagine it is too cold for awhile.
