Christmas cactus

My kitchen windowsill is covered with Christmas cactuses. I underwater them before the festive season  so they are only just starting to grow individual flowers instead of lots of them.

Some of there were cuttings from my Grandmother’s plants from about 1996….? It’s amazing how they have such longevity .

One of my Christmas cactuses on the kitchen windowsill has come into flower. I hope the rest will flower too. I have ten different Christmas cactii there. I think they are not doing as well as they can because I am not watering them enough.

On the end of the sill was an old amarylis plant, I think I’ve overwatered it. But it was about ten years old. I also have a maidenhair fern on the bathroom that is huge but most of it’s leaves have gone brown. Probably because I had the radiator fixed in the bathroom and it gets too hot in there. I need to sort things out…..
