Project 365 Day One: Christmas Cactus

I am going to try project 365.

That is to take a picture every day for a year.

Here is my first picture:



It is a Christmas Cactus that I bought at Publix two weeks ago.  This is one of the few blooms that did not fall off.  Unfortunately, when you move a plant, it goes into shock, and this one was extremely dry when I bought it.  

How dry? Well it is losing at least one or two leaves from being so dry.

Christmas Cacti are native to South America, where they are epiphytes in the rain forest, even though they are cacti, they do not tolerate extremely dry conditions, nor do they like soaking wet feet.

Happy New Year
