We have several Christmas cactus plants and they seem to like the west
window and will bloom two to three times a year, always right around
Christmas. Don't over water or over fertilize. Good Luck!

That may be the key. We neglected ours, not liking its colour much,
and it went from strength to strength. We eventually had a visitor
who praised it, so we went over all Arab: you are our guest, it is
yours! So everyone was happy :-)
