MJ,
Have you ever thought about "loaning" it to someone who can
help bring your Christmas cactic back to life? I don't have an
indoor green thumb but if I had something as precious as you
have, I'd find some plant doctor for help asap.

I wish I could get mine to bloom. It inherited it from my mother who
inherited it from her mother. Seriously, this thing is that old. Well,
other than keeping it green I have had no luck at all. I have been
reading tips for almost two years now it is disapointing.

Have you repotted your plants? Fed them with fish emulaion? They
need food during the growing season to get good winter bloom. They
need quick drainage, less water than most plants.
