I don’t normally bottom water this Xmas cactus because it’s so heavy but it definitely needed a good hose down. pretty soon I’m gonna have to water in the shower 🤪

these love a little water on the leaves from time to time — i’m not a mister but i do shower my zygos about once a month and give them a shake 🫨😂

This one got a decent shake from me trying to lift it into the sink, workout for the day is complete.
