They like cool temps wen blooming...maybe too warm??
sometimes buds will twist off due to light...not moveing it are ya?I have mine outdoors but when we get down to 30 i do move into garage for the night but mark how its faceing so when take out in morning can place the same way it sat.my new red has 4 blooms but no buds are set to twist off so hoppeing it will develope more but looks good so far seems the red is darkening.I want another one already& they do prefer temps about 50-55& i can see the difference minus the fact the cat knocked
plant into dormacy for extented period once 3 yrs ago.they do bloom better being keept cooler.also another thought would be if heating with gas the fumes can do things to certain
plants like drop buds drop leaves completely.i read the article in one of my gas bill sheet add ins when lived in indpls they recomended keeping
plants 5 ft from heat venting areas and where gas lines were located(like if
plant was on stand beside gas stove may be slight gas leak from connection or water heater)
and on another note.....a white blooming
cactus with pink tinted blooms is a named one called white christmas says is hybrid.so don't think is cause have white& pink in same bowl.they mentioned when it opened would show pink base
& pruneing sets them for branching& can prune anytime after finished flowering
anyone use cactigro or chempack?was mentioned as a cacti fertilizer the 2nd being a alanced one the 1st high in Potassom
also should check out the other ones the orchiad cacti/epiphyllum& easter cacti/hatiora(syn.rhiposalidopsis)......I like the orchiad one.should turn pics off on internet bad for me makes me want
