| Christmas Cactus In Bloom |
I left my Christmas cactus outside all summer and all fall. (I live in the south.) I brought it inside on Thanksgiving and it began to bloom. The salmon colored cactus was a gift from a lovely neighbor and it's now one of my favorite plants of all time!

Please tell me when you take your plant outside do you keep it in the shade or in the sunlight? I only get a few blooms on mine. I have never thought of taking it out doors in the summer. Please reply kduchin AT yahoo.ca

I do the same thing to mine--I live on the northern Arkansas-Oklahoma state line. 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.

A lady who works at the city Administration office has one like yours and says her secret is to use the plant fertilizer spikes for blooming plants. 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'm so jealous!!! I have tried Christmas Cactus so many times, they never grow for me.

Beautiful, beautiful. Don'r believe I have ever seen so many blooms on one plant. 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.

Your Christmas cactus is beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us. I love them but don't have one, so it is nice to see them in full bloom.

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
