The Christmas cactus. In many families it has become an heirloom passed from generation to generation with and occasional offshoot being given to friends and other family members. It's a plant, no, it's a member of the family that requires loving care and "just the right" conditions to make it bloom. Some care givers have the touch and can make it do it's magic year after year. Others, sadly never quite get the formula. In our house the care giver has a green thumb. For less fortunate plants our care giver runs an intensive care facility for neglected and dying plants. This Christmas cactus is a family member. It is a daughter plant started from a cutting of a family heirloom. The parent plant is twenty three years old.
