and get more next year?

Christmas Cactus?
It will re-bloom when it's good and ready. Mine is a bit off kiltered and generally blooms around easter time. Sometimes 4th of july, sometimes halloween. Sometimes not at all. And yes, every once in a great while it does bloom somewhere around Christmas.
Reply:It's called a Christmas Cactus because it blooms at Christmas time. That doesn't mean that it dies afterwards. If you keep it healthy, it will bloom again next christmas.
Reply:Don't trash it unless it dies. I have one that just bloomed for the first time %26amp; it's 3 years old!
Reply:It is done blooming for this season and will start to make new foliage.





The plants will set flower buds on the tips of new growth and in the axis between leaf segments in the fall when the days grow shorter and nights are cooler.
