Xmas cactus
February 15, 2011 No Comments
The beginning of flowering in my greenhouse is much retarded, maybe because of the tremendous outside cold we’ve experienced (Two nights in a row of -15 F (-26 C)) My heaters kept the greenhouse at its usual nighttime temperature of 40, but the daytime temperature, caused by natural heating, has been low. We barely got above 10 F outside on one of the days. The greenhouse was below 50. There are a few things blooming, and almost blooming.
This plant is inside the house in a south-facing bump-out window. It’s not supposed to be blooming, but there is always some volunteer in any population that marches to a different drummer.
