First bloom of the season. |
Today, the plant gifted by Mom, bloomed. It was about a week later than last year's first bloom but sooner than the year before that. For some reason it really felt late this year. I guess time is just moving differently than it used to.
As for my own Christmas cactus, the younger one is too busy putting out new leaves while the older, sickly one, is starting to make its first bloom. We'll see if it survives as some blooms fall off before the reach maturity.
I am considering trying to make starts off the sickly cactus and put it in a smaller pot but I'm afraid I will kill it. Afraid to even touch it as my green thumb has turned brown lately.
If you're interested in some of the history of this Christmas cactus and its descendant clones, check out this post: "Blooming Old Lady".
