Elaine, your Ric Rac cactus looks great! Does it get much sun? When mine was hanging in the backyard tree it received bright light but no sun at all; once in the pool cage on the SW side of the house it got a lot more sun although it was filtered a bit from the screen. I always wondered if that's why it began blooming. For the past four years it's been hanging in a Magnolia tree with filtered, late afternoon sun.
