Cacti....

[Moli]

This plant is years old lives in a unheated greenhouse year after year, and really is neglected, has not been repotted for years either, yet it flowers every year without fail...

That is stunning Moli, I've never had a cactus that has flowered ....

[Moli]

Think the secret is, get one and neglect it Mags!:roll::lol:

[calismum]

Fabulous flowers - really big too.

Beautiful! Do you think it is exactly because you're not caring for it that it flowers so well? Maybe it's a survival mechanism kicking it - don't plants flower profusely if they feel threatened in an attempt to propagate themselves?

Very nice!

Benign neglect seems to work for some plants. I never fuss my amaryllis, put them outside in Summer, bring them back in Autumn, add a little MiracleGro to the water occasionally if I think of it, and they just keep blooming .....

That's a lovely cactus Moli - certainly it must thrive on neglect. Don't they always say the right plant in the right place will do very well?
