Hey Folks:

Some of my friends have really cool Christmas cactus colors.
I tried rooting a slip, but it croaked. Can anyone give me some
hints on how to do it right?

I don't get 100% of the slips to root. Use a sterile rooting medium
(sand or vermilculite) and rooting hormone. The slips should have 4
or 5 sections. Enclose the cutting in plastic and provide bright
light. They take 6-8 weeks to root. Same thing with orchid cactus,
which I believe are in the same family.
