December of 2011

Gardening: What is the secret for carrying for Christmas cactuses?

I love the Christmas cactus but try as i may...I have never understood how to keep them healthy and alive. I have read instructions on how to water... ...»

Don't over water, do not allow them to dry out...Place them in well draining soil... Blah, blah, blah,...... I purchased a couple two years ago and as usual they still remain a mystery to care for.

In December of 2011 my white cactus bloomed, the pink one did not.

When I moved to a new apartment the following year I placed them at the window with my other sun loving plants as I did in my last apartment..

That December, neither bloomed.......I assumed it was the change and like the other plants... they needed to get acclimated...

I changed their soil and pots over and over again...Some dried them out to quickly like the clay pots...Others like ceramics, would keep them appearing healthy for a while but then they would stop growing.

This year the only thing I've done differently was to change the pots again!. I purchased two cheap little plastic pots from the dollar store and forgot to place holes in the bottom, however, when I watered them... I allowed them to dry out between watering...and did not bother to punch holes in the bottom because they seem fine..

I than decided this month to place them on the balcony where they receive indirect light... And guess what...They began to bud!

I still can't figure this out...What did I do right/wrong? They are blooming in May??

are they not Christmas cactuses?.

Garden Art/Decor/planters

Hello my hometalk friends. I thought I'd share some information with you that our fellow hometalk friend ( Douglas Hunt the home improvement guy ) sheared with me ...»

about the stones face planters that I have recently posted. I asked if these could possibly be made and he was kind enough to find a do it yourself kit for me and I will post on it once I have them made.

Thanks again Douglas.

It's A Peony Parade

I love this time of year when the peonies are blooming, the sun is shining and everything is right with the world. OK, these plants really, really put me in a good mood! ...»

I have three of them so far and am going to pick up one or two more this weekend. The ONLY downfall to these plants is that the blooms get so stinking big that they tend to fall over, but I have peony rings around them to keep them as upright as possible.
