The first two years I had mine it always bloomed about a week before

the holidays got too stressful...sigh.



I had the same problem. But over the years I swapped slips from friends
and now I have a collection of Zygocactus where at least one is in bloom
throughout the (dull) winter months. They seem to prefer neglect during
the blooming season.


They like cooler, darker and drier falls. I love all of mine!
