Christmas Cactus In Bloom

RE: Christmas Cactus In Bloom By Toebeanie (40) Profile Contact I have a Christmas cactus that has been in my mothers family for 100 years. I start feeding it lightly when I put it outside in spring with a low strength fertilizer. It is on the north when outside, but get the early morning sun, which it loves. I bring it inside when the nights are in the 50's. I have also added one that belonged to a friend of my mothers, and several new ones. I have red, white, salmon, and hot pink. Good Luck!

I only get a few blooms on mine. I have never thought of taking it out doors in the summer.

Mine blooms every year for Christmas. My grandmother did the same to hers--she lived in northern Ohio, and when she was alive, hers bloomed yearly also. I think that punch of cold weather in the fall helps. I take mine in right before a heavy frost, but don't use any special fertilizer or baby it.

Do you use them too? You must surely do SOMETHING? Her's is indoors all year long, with sparse light from windows in her office. So, how do you feed/water it? How much/how often?

I have quite a few Christmas Cactus plants but they do not bloom anymore. Tell me your secret because I want my plants to bloom again. Keep up the good work.

I love them but don't have one, so it is nice to see them in full bloom.

(Guest Post) Your cactus is beautiful. I have 2 and only one was covered in blooms. I live in NC and also leave mine out all spring ,summer and fall. Do you get something like spider webs on yours while they are outside? I have to use a soft bristle tothbrush to clean mine. Take care! Jan Posted on 12/19/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
