I really like Christmas/Thanksgiving cacti because it is so easy to get them to put on a beautiful flower display, unlike other cacti. Plus right after Christmas you can get them at Walmart for like 50 cents.

To make them flower- like weed, they seem to be photoperiod sensitive- I put them in a deeply shaded spot outdoors like one summer I had them UNDER the propane tank. Then after a couple weeks put them back in normal light, not too bright they DO get suburned more easily than a Scandinavian, and soon they will start showing buds.

I'll upload pics of my rose garden which just came into bloom as soon as I can figure out what is wrong with my piece of CRAP digital camera.


BusterUK7, cool peppers. The problem you are having with your little clone may be a Molybdenum deficiency brought on by soil acidity. The leaves rolling upwards is a symptom. If you fix your soil pH the problem should go away.

Here is a pic of my mimosa pudica. (Sensitive plant) When you touch the leaves they fold up and move away from you in front of your eyes. It is in flower now as u can see by the strange pink thing comming out of it. Rating: 5
