Neither.
Root them in moist sand. A Google search will reveal many websites on how to grow, flower and propagate "Christmas Cactus". "Marg" wrote in message m... Can anyone tell me how to root a christmas cactus? Do I just stick it in the dirt? Or root it in water? |

Wait until after its finished blooming.
It doesn't matter which holiday its named for. The care is pretty much the same. "Skirmishd" wrote in message ... Neither. Root them in moist sand.

I am not sure which Holiday mine likes; I had a huge one for years and just called it a Christmas Cactus. Lost it when I made a long move but had given my daughter cuttings and in Nov of 2001 I pinched a tiny tip from hers, took it to my new home and let it heal for a day then stuck it in a cup of sandy loam. Pointed edges are thanksgiving cactus, curved scalloped edges are Christmas. I have a white christmas about to bloom, it's a bit confused but I forgive it! Tom |

Mine has been flowering for over 2 weeks and still have buds. It never
flowers at Christmas. Last year it flowered at Easter also. It is a mixed up plant, but I like it Françoise Skirmishd wrote: Mine is a sort of Thanksgiving plant and has buds now. |

thank you. I didn't want them to die on the way home (found a couple
of broken peices after packing them out at work) so I immediately stuck them in water while waiting for your responses. I may just leave them there and see what happens as long as I know they can be rooted in water :-) |
