I’ve watched a lot of videos on this subject. Yours is the first to include water along with temp and light requirements. Thank you so much!

I recently watched an amazing video about Christmas cactus and I must say, it was truly impressive! The video showcased the beauty and versatility of these plants in such an engaging way. The way the video captured the different stages of growth, from blooming to sprouting, was simply stunning. It was evident that the video was made with a lot of care and attention to detail, as every shot was perfect and showcased the Christmas cactus in its most natural form. I loved how the video also provided insightful tips on how to care for these plants, making it not only visually appealing but also informative. Overall, I highly recommend this video to anyone looking to learn more about Christmas cactus or just looking to appreciate the beauty of nature.

I call them bashful sleepers. They love the darkness and cool temps. I placed mine in a dark closet 3 weeks ago and POOF, the plants are starting to burst with blooms already.

Hopefully I can get mine to start flowering again after many years. Very informative cheers from Aussie land

These tips are so good. It's what I do with my Xmas Cactus. Thanks for a great informative video.

Or you could live in Britain where the cooler autumn weather and the longer nights provide what the Christmas cactus wants, I just avoid watering in October completely and restart in November. It's worked so far, last year my Christmas cactus was blooming from late November until easter this year.

I have tried to use the darkness method and it really worked! But now I used the cold method, it would be much easier. Just leave them outside until the temperature drops to under 50 and the flower buds all over the plants!
