JB--

Wanted to show you how well all the CC's that you sent me are doing.
As I am always running out of space to put plants--I had an AHA! moment....

I have 2 "task lights" (single 2' bulb) under my kitchen cabinets that sit above the counter top
on either side of my stove. Why can't i use these to put some small plants under? WHY????

And--so I did. On one side are all your CC's and on the other are my 2 Rex Begonias and some small pots with cc's rooting.
Just enough light to make them all happy.

Question:
Since your CC's are all growing so nicely--should I pinch off the tips of some of them
and root them? OR---is there a chance they will bloom again in March-or so?
Should I wait until then?
Very, very few of my CC's bloom twice. Have a pink one blooming a bit right now.

Thanks, G.
