From away to garden.com and Robinhood Radio.com, this is Away to Garden with Margaret

Roach.

You're a weekly invitation to dig in and grow.

I was scrolling through Instagram the other day.

Yes, sometimes I just can't help myself.

When I saw a post by today's guest, Matt Madness, about Christmas cactus.

So even though it's still high summer, it may be long for one of my own.

And I haven't grown a holiday cactus since my very old plant took a nasty spill in a

move of houses years ago.

It also made me think it was time for a review of how to get those lavish bloomers to do

their colorful thing,

and that's our topic today, so more in a moment but first these messages.
