Coffee Morning.

Saturday an excellent excuse to catch up with an old friend for coffee in town... Just so good to spend some time catching up... Everyone is Sooooo Busy these days! After Coffee we wandered about our small country town shopping here & there - found a lovely book for one of my future projects in the garden - I Luv It! Such an enjoyable relaxed morning that I came back to earth with a bit of a thud when confronted with a Ute load of Hay that needed unloading & stacking into the feed shed on my return home!!! Such is Life...

This beautiful Zygo Cactus belongs to my friend how gorgeous can you get??? The colour is amazing... more brilliant apricot/tangerine - just so eyecatching! Of course I had to bring some cuttings on home to pot up now as you do ... Although I am in two minds as to which way to go about this??? Options Being - straight into soil... allow to take root in a jar of water then pot up or let the severed ends dry first & then pot up... can anyone help me out here @ all???

Sounds like an excellent start to the weekend (maybe not the hay part) and the Zygo Cactus is very beautiful. I wish I had some advice for you, but I need a book "Plants for Dummies", and then maybe I will be a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Love the zygo cactus. I think I have the same one. I would just put it straight into soil in a pot and keep watering. It may take awhile, but will eventually root. They are pretty easy to grow from cuttings, but you do have to be patient. Love the sound of your morning with a friend.
