I've seen some able to get muliple blooms,but they do the closet thing....and if I put a plant in a closet to make it think it was dorment.....I'd forget about it.Mine will bloom this time roughly every year.When the days get shorter I move it to a lil shadier spot.when their finished blooming I'll just sit them with the rest of the gang in the cold GH.

Thanks, I have a few new buds today, but not sure if they just haven't flowered yet. The blooms were so beautiful, that I'd love another round of them

OK! I need some help with my Christmas cactus! I replanted it about a month ago, because it was too big for the pot. Then it started to bud and flower.. During this time parts of the plant started to die. I put new soil in when I re- potted my plant. I used the new miracle grow soil that holds the moisture in so you don't have to water as much. Was this a mistake or not? I think so! Now what do i do? HELP me please? I do not want to lose this plant....

Hey! Tom can I asked you if you would not mind maybe to send me some starts off of that white one?Not now maybe next spring?I will pay for the postage or send you a start of my chrismas cactus which is reddish in color?Rita
