Full disclosure: I'm not a houseplant person.
I prefer to garden outside. Any plant that requires water more than once a week or so won't make it in my house.
When I married Tony 34 years ago he had this rather ugly houseplant and a few others. I killed all of them but this one. I kept it in a low-light room and to me, this plant was just an odd,
homely greenish-brown plant.
I never knew that I had a lovely Christmas Cactus!

By chance I moved it into our well-lit office one fall 5 or 6 years ago. In November, to my delight all these gorgeous red-pink blooms started appearing on it. Now every year I expect the show to begin just after Halloween.
This plant is very low maintenance, needs little water and lots of indirect light. If you live in Indiana and would like a cutting, let me know! It's easy to propagate.
