    I inherited a 250 pound staghorn fern from my mother. she started it in 1970 and it was 52 years old when I got it. However, it is too heavy for any mounting system. We had it on the wall for about a year, and with this years rains, the weight pulled the redwood frame apart that it was mounted on. The way the fern has grown around the redwood makes it impossible to insert another frame, so we will either have to put it out in the garden under the oak trees or divide it. It seems a shame to do the latter.

    I recently watched an amazing video about Christmas cactus and I must say, it was truly impressive! The video showcased the beauty and versatility of these plants in such an engaging way. The way the video captured the different stages of growth, from blooming to sprouting, was simply stunning. It was evident that the video was made with a lot of care and attention to detail, as every shot was perfect and showcased the Christmas cactus in its most natural form. I loved how the video also provided insightful tips on how to care for these plants, making it not only visually appealing but also informative. Overall, I highly recommend this video to anyone looking to learn more about Christmas cactus or just looking to appreciate the beauty of nature.
