All of the Zygos are low-maintenance plants. Water when they become dry, and only transplant when absolutely necessary. They are easy to slip. Just pinch off two joined segments and pot so that the junction is buried in soil. Keep moist until new growth appears. They may also be rooted in water. As a general rule and despite their reputation as "Christmas" cacti, they will reward you with a flush of blooms in mid to late November, followed by another lesser blooming period approximately six weeks later.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
