Comments (12)Shanna, I'm not really that knowledgeable about CC's except my own, and mine are outside all the time, which you may not be able to do. I know overwatering is bad-bad-bad, especially just after they bloom. Mine do better in clay pots, and they only bloom once a year, at Thanksgiving. If yours isn't blooming, maybe it will bloom later, like Christmas or in the spring. If you go back to the Cacti and Succulents Forum main page, click on the FAQ at the top, and it will take you to some questions, one of which is about how to get CC's to bloom. Also, if you go to the bottom of the page and enter "Christmas Cactus" in the search box, several postings will come up which might also have helpful information about CC's. Just my opinion...they seem to tolerate a lot of neglect, and a little care really makes a big difference. But I think you can "love 'em to death" also, if you know what I mean! LOL!...See MoreXmas cactus is a Thanksgiving cactus! Blooms!
Comments (8)Thanks Maid :) I never slowed down on watering mine, and it didnt hurt it. Since I have gotten it I always water once a week. I also used MG right before it got buds and it didnt hurt it at all. I used the granulated that you put in water though. Since it didnt seem to have any neg effects the first time I just did it again yesterday. Another thing I did that I didnt know I wasnt supposed to, lol..was that I moved it around alot. Changed spots a few times, was turning it for equal light on all sides in front of the window. I didnt get any bud loss. The only prob I have had is that my cat keeps pulling off buds now as they form. Every day I see new buds, and the lil b****** pops em off. The ones he cant get to are still blooming nicely. He's even been tearing pieces of segments off..must not taste good cuz he just leaves them on the counter like the buds. So why in the world does he keep doing it? lol. dumb cat. It is very exciting isnt it? I think yoursd will be fine and bloom nicely. Waiting for those buds to get big enough and bloom was like torture for me, lol. Good luck, and post pix when it blooms!!
