    What a spectacular plant, roders!

    I'm really looking forward to spring when my cactus should hopefully start making new leaves. :)

    Having read this thread, I will take to putting my Christmas Cactus out in summer. I have never done that also mine always seem to flower in October, not in December.
    The flowers (I'm sure) were bright red when I bought it but I now get a lovely shade of pinkish flowers.

    Have had the plant for nearly 3 years now. Should I re-pot it as well, or should I just leave it alone till Spring and then do a bit of feeding and talking to.

    I have also taken a snapped of leaf and planted it up. Waiting to see if it takes. I have been told that it is easy to propogate.
