My Christmas Cactus Is Now Starting To Drop Blooms

My Christmas Cactus Is now starting to drop its blooms that was so beautiful this Christmas. Its showing signs that the blooming time is almost over as its has begun to drop its flowers that had just been hanging at the end of each section of my big beautiful Christmas Cactus. As the blooms die and being falling off I know its all most time for me to let it rest for a few months. I will then move it to a new resting place where I will let it rest till its time to begin to fertilize it for the new growth to begin in the spring. I will still water my cactus not letting it remain dry all the time. Around the end of February I will start to feed it so that the new growth is health.

I lost a piece of my Christmas Cactus recently and I want to show everyone how to replant it. I will be making a small movie and display it on the site. But for now if you have a piece drop off do not trash it if the piece of the Christmas Cactus is in good health. Place it on a zip lock bag and use a small spray bottle to mist inside the bag and zip the bag up, but remember every 2 days or so you will have to reopen the bag and remist it till you get it planted. To plant please pick up some Christmas Cactus Potting Soil, a small pot with a drain hole on the bottom and a saucer to let the plant excess water to run off in it.
