Both of which I am currently growing and planning on taking cuttings when the time is right.

I got my Aluminum plants for 25 cents each as the lady I know was going to toss them when I know they would have perked up by watering them and cutting the dried leaves off. And that is was is happening now. They aren't quite to yours performance but will get there. Just needed some TLC! The Christams cactus is very pretty and I've never seen one that is white but recently have noticed that they are in the catalogs now. Also, haven't been successful growing one either. I guess there is something about how much light they get?

I think it does depend on the water you give it as well. I think it is that you have to have the soil dry to about an inch before you give it another watering. To get it to bloom you need certain temperature, lighting, and limited waterings, though. I have found a website you can go to, to find care information on it.

Wow, I know all about Ed Hume's seeds. I didn't know he had a website. Thanks for sharing. Karalyn Idaho Zone 6   Blue_rose  Posted on Friday, January 25, 2008 - 06:05 pm EST :    My pleasure.
