Default Sunrise vs. Christmas Cactus

You must not be aware that "Sunrise cactus" (= Hatiora (including
Rhipsalidopsis)) and "Christmas cactus" (= Schlumbergera (including
Zygocactus)) are not the same thing.

I've got a Sunrise cactus that I bought at the store, which came with
instructions to give it cold temperatures (40 degrees) in November and
December in order to have it bloom a few weeks later. I also have a few
Christmas cacti that were given to me and I'm not sure when their bloom
time is. Should I put them in the cold along with the Sunrise cactus,

or
leave them inside where it's warm and hope they bloom?

Give it cooler temps and it'll start budding for you.
