    I'm sure that they're rooting, because I dropped the pot last night, and they didn't budge. YAY!! I'm so excited! This is my first attempt at propagating cacti! I've had wonderous results with jade, but wowy kadowy! A CACTUS!

    But now what? Does anyone have any idea what the care for a newborn wee lil' Christmas Cactus baby should be? How long should I wait before I start watering it regularly? Should I add some rooting hormone or Cactus/Succulent fertilizer to the watering regime so early in the game? Should I be moving them into more direct sun - or as direct as I can get it in this dimly-lit student apartment?

    Break out the cigars!
    I'm a first time cactus mommy!
