sounds like a good idea.

I love poinsettias, but as with all other types of house plants, they die upon entrance into my home..........I have more than just a black thumb when it comes to house plants. Trying to convince people of that sometimes takes more effort than it is worth. Especially the folks at church, almost every time there are plants, as opposed to cut flowers, on the altar someone tries to give them to me -—”But you do so much gardening” is the standard whine when I thnak them but decline the offer.

i have a christmas cactus on the kitchen windowsill that bloomed for the first time in years just this week. have no idea how that came to be, since i googled christmas cactus and saw that you were supposed to do all this stuff to it to get it to bloom. i did nothing other than water it every once in awhile. my violets on the same windowsill routinely flower as well.
