Abstract
Many families have heirlooms that are passed down from generation to generation. One cherished item for some is the holiday cactus. Plants have been in some families for 50 or more years. The long life of these plants is due to the fact they are easy to grow. They thrive on benign neglect, have few insect and disease problems, and don’t require frequent repotting.
