Re-potted My Poinsettia, Christmas Cactus, and Miniature Pineapple Plant

I finally got off my lazy but and replanted some of my plants.  I re-potted my Poinsettia, Christmas Cactus, and Miniature Pineapple Plant.  The blue pot are from the Ocean Lot.  They sell a huge variety of pots for a very affordable price.  The blue one was $3.  The clear plastic thing (sorry, can't think of what it's called right now) under the pot cost $0.88.  The purple vase/pot came from Ikea.  It's sold in a set of two.  The smaller one is broken so I only had this tall one left.  I apologize but I do not remember how much those cost.

This miniature pineapple plant originally cost was $12.99 but it went on clearance and I got it for $2.99 only.  I brought two of these plants from Shaw's (a local grocery store).  I had given one away to my sister.  To my surprise I found pups in each of these pots.  The one my sister got had one and the one I got had three.  I did not know of this until I had brought them home.  What I deal huh?  I will take close up of these little pups as soon as I find more time.  :)

Also to let you all know I went to the Boston Flower Show this past weekend.  Hopefully can I upload some photos soon to show you all.  

Getting Ready for the Holidays with Poinsettia and Christmas Cactus

Check out my other blog on what kind of projectsthese kids are making at these workshops: http://www.babyatplay.com/2012/09/06/free-kids-workshops-to-learn-create-craft-at-the-home-depot/

Home Depot is pretty sneaky...by offering these FREE workshops; it's a way to lure you in to buy things. Once I walked past the Christmas garden section I couldn't help myself but to purchase two plants. I brought a small red poinsettias and a pink Christmas cactus. They cost me under $3 for each. They are just so cute. Love them.

So any special care for any of these plants? Letme know!
