Hard to tell. They don't need a lot of water,but letting them dry out too long isn't good. Some say they need a period of coolness and dark. I do usually put the pot out in the garden in summer and leave it until it starts to get cold,but that doesn't always work. Good luck.

Mine has a mind of it's own! This was the best display I've had,some years it hardly bloomed and the timing is pretty erratic. Thanksgiving,christmas,Easter whatever.
They do need water in a dry house. I have a gauge that you stick in the pot to tall if it needs water.

Lovely Christmas cactus. I have one of these that I started from a little piece someone gave me years ago, but its never blossomed as much as yours. I probably don't water or feed it enough.
