Hi, we have a flowing christmas cactusj just inside a south facing window.
buds are dropping off and a friend thinks that is because it is not being
watered enough. Could anyone please advise how to water and how much how
often roughly please?




Here's a very extensive FAQ on Christmas Cactus.

Where more emphasis is given to watering, in addition to changes in
temperature, as was suggested before. Some of the advice may appear to
conflict, but that's only because the advice and answer in each case
has to be tailored to meet the particular circumstances.


This makes a useful addition maybe to the RHS site -
