It's growing happily in a 6 inch pot now, got a lot of new growth and even one bloom...may be I should call it "C'mon Spring" cactus :)

This plant was almost dead when I purchased it from a 75% off rack at Home Depot in late January. It was so weak, I didn't think it would make it. Of course, I didn't know the color either....By the way, I've wanted a peach Christmas cactus for about 2 years now, never saw one in the store - and such a strike of luck!

you are supposed to keep these in shade unless they are  blooming. When they start blooming you need to move them toward sunlight.

Connie, they THRIVE on neglect - my kind of plant!!!

You are right, it was waiting just for me. I thought I would be buying a typical pink/fusia color one (and I wanted that color too, because my mom had a fusia christ. cactus since I was little. Our cats threw the pot off the window sill at least once every 2 years...Natural division LOL! )

I just got 2 more cuttings in the trade, and those are supposed to be deep pink, so we'll see, next Christmas.

How beautiful Tatyana! I've never seen a peach one. Great save ...it was waiting for you! 

I seem to have a way with killing Christmas Cactus. But, a friend gave me a piece of one last fall, rooted in some dirt in a styrofoam cup. I just left in the cup and neglected it, LOL... wouldn't ya know, it's starting to bloom!
