Thanks Docgipe, That helps a lot. I was about to start feeding my holiday cacti and orchid cacti too soon. Our last frost here will be in early March, so I may start feeding again by the end of january.

Carolyn, I am sure if the ammonia were to highly concentrated, it would burn your plants, but the nitrogen in most fertilizers comes from ammonia, so the plants really do well with it.

I have a couple of epi cacti and dragon fruit cacti that grew over 6 feet long one year using that formula. It worked wonders for just about all of my plants.

Thanks for the info on tagging. I never knew you could do that.

JB, I thought Thanksgiving cacti and Christmas cacti were the same "zygocactus" and the easter cactus was a rhipsalis. Are there differences between the Thanksgiving and christmas cacti? Maybe I should go read some of the links again.

I had 4 different colors bloom this season. here are a few pics. They aren't great, but I took them with my cell phone and very little light.
