It's What's Up Wednesday!

I don’t know about you, folks, but I love my Christmas cactuses. I have an S. truncata (Thanksgiving cactus) and an S. buckleyi (True Christmas cactus), and they’ve been with me for years. I’ve had the Thanksgiving cactus for decades now. Having grown them and written about them for years, I have a good understanding of them. 

So, I was shocked to learn something completely new about Christmas cactus thanks to a regular reader. 

I won’t spoil it for you, but it’s pretty wild. It got me thinking about some of the other important things everyone should know about these old-fashioned plants. I’m a firm believer in the idea that to get a plant to thrive, you have to know how it grows in the wild. Christmas cacti are no different. Let’s check it out.
