*Please* tell me how to look after my Christmas cactus! I do water it from
time to time and at present, it's putting on healthy looking shoots at the
tips. But the flowering performance is abysmal round about Christmas time!

Howdy,

The trick seems to be chilling the plant...

Many times I have seen that our large Christmas cacti flower
only on the side that touches a cold window. If we remember
to rotate the pot, we get flowers all around the plant.

Good luck with it,

Ah. So not good in the kitchen near the Aga! Thank you!
