I don't know that Christmas cacti are actually considered "orchid cacti" but this seemed to be the place for this question, so here goes. I got 2 rooted Christmas Cactus cuttings on ebay. They arrived yesterday and the roots are so tiny that I had to put my reading glasses on to see them. The cuttings are about 3" long. I want to pot them up today and I'm wondering what I should do with them since they are just barely rooted. Should I go ahead and put them in some light cactus soil or just perlite at this point (until the roots grow a little bit). Also, how deep should I plant them? I'm thinking of just sticking them in some little pots in a ziplock bag under my seed starting lights for now-does that sound OK?
Any suggestions very much appreciated-
Deb
