Happy happy from this very very very old Thanksgiving cactus! (At least 50 years! okay that’s not old for humans but old for plants!)🥳 and lucky me, a piece fell off and we propagated it and it’s ready for me to take home!

Wow! 50 years? Impressive! 😍

Cool! What’s the story behind the plant/how do you know it’s 50 years old?

It was my grandmother’s! My mom said it’s been around since she was a child and my mom is going to be 80… so 50 is a conservative estimate!
