If. you don’t have a garden in
which to plant out your tree after
the holiday, nor a balcony or
deck to hold it in a pot (for years
and years) then perhaps, you
have a-relative or friend who
recently moved into a new house
with a modest garden ... why
not give your live tree to them?

If you do decide to buy:a live
‘tree, one suggestion only ..... no,
two..Keep it well watered while it

is inside ‘and misting’ it would

certainly be:a kindness, and get it
“back outside as soon as possible.
The other suggestion is that you
be careful to keep all tree lights

you: attach them, trying not: to

break off needles. Your tree will’

look. handsomer during _ the
summer if you are careful now.

Time now to re-introduce your :

Christmas cactus to the rest. of

the family. It should flower just _

about Christmas day.
