Christmas Cactus





OK, so I know my cactus is blooming a month early....I do this on purpose :-) so it is done by the holidays when I want all my decorations up. Every year, as soon as it is nice, I put my cactus on my front porch. When autumn comes, I bring it in, put it in a dark corner and stop watering it. Soon it starts to set it's buds. Honestly, I have no control over it. It is loaded with blooms....beautiful. After it stops flowering, it spends the rest of the winter in the basement bathroom. It loves the cool temperature and the sun from the two windows...perfect conditions.
