My Christmas cactus (schlumbergera truncata) which I got in
2004
bloomed nicely in this past December, its second Christmas, and
is
now about to have a secondary bloom with fewer and paler buds.

Is a secondary bloom common? My usually reliable houseplant
book
says nothing about them reblooming.

Mine usually blooms anywhere from Halloween to Thanksgiving and
it did and now it is blooming again. Its all about the light.
