Who Needs Curtains?

We live in an area where there’s not a ton of sunshine. We are surrounded by an old growth hardwood forest.

This means that there are a limited number of types of plants that will do well in our home. It also means that they need to be in or very close to a window in order to thrive.

My answer to this was to create a curtain of plants in each window.

It makes watering a snap and I really enjoy all my little window jungles.

Last Hurrah

My Thanksgiving cacti are blooming to beat the band! I finally got around to rearranging my plants to create a Thanksgiving cactus window.

Right now there’s one Easter cactus in the window but I'm pretty sure I’ll move it back to the bathroom window and put a pot with multiple colored Thanksgiving cacti in it in this window.

It should be gorgeous when they’re all blooming come Thanksgiving.

Early Blooms

My Easter Cactus is blooming. Last year I got a small cluster of blooms followed by a much bigger bloom. Hopefully this year will be the same.

This little bugger has been hard to convince to bloom so I moved it to my kitchen window. This window is going to end up being a Thanksgiving/Easter cactus window because they seem to bloom endlessly here.

The one true cactus in the window may get the boot to the downstairs bathroom.

Still Blooming After All This Time

My two kitchen Thanksgiving Cacti have been blooming since October!

I turn them monthly and every time I do I discover a new bounty of blooms!

This is a close up of what I think of as my ballerina blooms. The color is cream and the blooms are extremely delicate. Such a treat!

Interestingly my two living room cacti barely bloomed at all. Feeding and watering have been the same but with our warmer winter and being above a baseboard radiator. It’s never been an issue in the past but with the warmer winter?
