jojoe---

Are the pictures you posted of an Easter cactus?????
They are a bit out of focus and I could not really tell. Besides--they are pink????

Here is my Easter Cactus, but it has bright red blooms. Yours look pink....

EC cuttings take longer to root than CC cuttings. It was a good 3 years that mine finally
got its act together...I had a little one that I gave to sallyG. That was at least 2+ years old before it
showed some active growth. Still small--in a 4" pot....
The Mama one I have had for ages--maybe 6-7 yrs?

I may prune it back when it its done blooming this year and see if i can root some of the sections...

Here is what mine looks like...last summer....
The other picture is from years ago---2006, and I am sure I had it a few years before it got this big!
So--it is pretty old....Note the leaves. They have NO spiky points--just a slightly scalloped edge.
