I am a total Christmas cactus failure, so I've given up. Yours is lovely. Nice to have on a dreary day.
Turns out the trick is to have it cool and dark 12 hours a day for six weeks and voila - it blooms!At my house it only bloomed on the side that faced the window … this year I left it on my balcony until just before the first frost.:-)
My mom gave me her decades-old Christmas cactus -- and I killed it :-( Turns out that not watering for weeks and weeks is fatal. Who knew? Yours is lovely.What does the cracker card say?
