plantladylin said:Wow, y'all have blooms on your Holiday Cactus already? I noticed buds on my big plant a couple of days ago but it always seems to take forever for them to open, usually early to mid December. This is my Schlumbergera truncata last December 15th:

Lin I had one bloomed really early this year, it bloomed Sept. I had it in the shade and I think we started getting dark earlier this year. I have heard it is the number of hrs of light they get is what brings on the blooms. The earlier it gets dark the sooner they bloom Previous years I had buds in Sept and blooms late Nov early Dec. This year they are at least a month ahead.
