365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Bright Star
Day 32: To encourage bloom and to ensure crisp colour unmuddied by blush tones, Zygocacti should be kept cool during the winter months. While blush doesn't matter much on the pink/red/fuchsia shades, it ages whites and yellows prematurely, and makes them appear as if they're already fading. I keep my Zygos in the back bedroom with a baseboard heater turned down low. Set back from the window roughly 8-12", they receive south light for about six hours a day. Morning and late afternoon light is filtered by trees.
