I have had Christmas Cacti for the better part of 33 years (one of the plants was thought to have 鈥渄ied鈥 and was given to me when I said I鈥檇 like to take it - I was able to 鈥渃oax鈥 it back to life and have had it ever since, so who knows how old it actually is?) Regardless, I have always seemed to have had luck with these plants, watering about once every 3 weeks as well as rotating the pots a quarter of a turn. Just recently, a friend saw me do this and she said they should NEVER be rotated. I wonder now, what is the 鈥減roper鈥 way? Even though I鈥檝e managed to keep my plants alive for quite some time, have I been doing it all wrong?
