The cactus was given by a daughter to a mother in Strongsville around 1975. And now, almost 50 years later, it has been repotted several more times and still flowers every year, sometimes twice a year.
Rebecca Cline gave her mother, Vivian, this Christmas cactus almost 50 years ago.CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The exact year has been forgotten, but it was sometime around 1975. Like now, inflation was raging, the news was filled with stories of political turmoil and conflict, and holiday shopping budgets were stretched thin.
“It was a spindly thing, maybe six inches tall,” her mom, Vivian Cline, recalls. “Rebecca didn’t have resources to get anything else, but I knew it was a gift of love.” Vivian started taking care of it, and it soon outgrew its original pot. She had to transplant it, and she recalls, “It grew and grew. It would bloom every year and always provided beauty at Christmas time.” Now, almost 50 years later, it has been repotted several more times and still flowers every year, sometimes twice a year.
