Re: Christmas cactus

Interesting... because individually ours seem to be on "bloom all at once" schedules--masses of flowers all at once, which last for a couple of weeks, then no more blooms until next year. Must have something to do with indoor/outdoor influences.

Mine (all indoor, of course!) has several flushes of blooms, from mid
fall to mid spring. It is never out of bloom during that period, just
periods of "more" and "less".

All of our zygos--maybe a dozen or more of them--are outdoor
plants. This year, they started blooming around Thanksgiving; two
of the last three, a pink and a white, are just now starting to
bloom. Amazing. I don't know when the last one will get around to it.
