Default Christmas Cactus

You obviously haven't noticed that the days have already gotten shorter
regardless of any intervention on your part.

Hi,

Last year my Christmas Cactus did nothing before Christmas. I put it in
the dark for a while. It finally flowered with a few flowers but nothing
to speak about. It was in February.

This year, I did nothing. I just noted that it has some flowers and a

lot
of buds. No branches are without a bud. It will be gorgeous soon. I

guess
all the flowers will be gone at Christmas time though. Ah well.

I find they need cooler temperatures more than darkness. Mine are setting
buds right now. I put them closer to the floor where it's cooler and bam,
new flower buds.
