I grow a couple of cactus each year for my church to use at Christmas. Thought you might like to see them.

Thank You Judy! I don't do anything special. I grow the cactus outside in summer in the shade, too much sun will burn it. Stop watering the 1st of October unless you can see that the plant must have water. When frost or freezing temps threaten it goes in my greenhouse in direct sunlight. The plastic on the house filters the sun enough that it doesn't burn. Daytime temps are whatever the house is, nighttime temps are not allowed to get below 40 degrees farenheight. If temps are kept too high it will flower early.
