My Christmas caucus has survived a few major attacks a couple from a field mice, a near rotting situation in the rain and has bloomed again. I never expected it to even survive the ordeal. The plant had to be put under constant care and doses of anti fungal powders. There are just about 10-20 flowers until now. I am just happy to see that it has survived the odds to see this year.
It always makes me happy to save plants , birds and animals. It doesn’t cost too much to get another plant but it doesn’t bring you as much happiness as having saved a dying, battered plant. Last week I picked up a sad looking fox tail fern someone had thrown on the side of the road. I have decided to nurse it to health and give it to my friend who has been wanting one.
It is better to save than buy, what do you think?

It’s always great to maintain a plant alive. Now that I think about it, some of mine are 10 or more year old. Christmas cactuses are quite tough, even I could keep mine for a long time and they still bloom from time to time.
Wow that is awesome. Mine get eaten up by rodents even if they survive.
Mine are all in flowerpots, it’s really a different story in the garden. Once, snails ate a flower on the first night we planted it.
Beautiful plant. Unfortunately, mine did not survive.
Yeah these plants are very finicky. I plan on grafting them on to other cacti so they won’t rot away at the first rain.
Yes less is more right but in quality
Not necessarily, it could be quality as well.
I bought a Christmas cactus in a flower shop but it didn’t bloom … all the flowers were gone so I already threw it in a container …. I still have a message about an ad blocker
Aww that is sad, these plants can go on for years like Ellie925 mentioned. I wonder if this adblocker stuff causes the views to come down.
