You say you keep them outside in the summer and you live in zone 9. Do
you put them in full sun? I live in zone 7 so I'm wondering where
they'd do well. Thanks for any help. Mine have not bloomed in 2 years.

Hi,
I have several different kinds of Christmas catcus and have had them for
several years. They will bloom several times a year if you keep them in a
sunny place. I live in zone nine and keep them outside in the summer and on
a sunny window sill in the winter. They get lots of blooms about three or
four times a year. Just don't overwater them. Sandy

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.
