I use to have One? and I have no idea which, but I could get my to bloom almost anytime but withholding the water.
Between times, good fertilizing/water regime.

Mine, which I have had for many yrs, always bloomed before Christmas, this year not, and it seems to be dying......what to do? Move it, stop giving it water, fertilizer? Help!

Mine loves the window it is in and has bloomed several since I brought it into the house in October. I just enjoy it whenever it blooms. This is a pink. In the same window, I have a coral and a white and they have not bloomed. Go figure......

I have a cactus I don't know which it is as its bloomed in different times of the year. One year in November and this year its blooming in April. Oh well, just like that it blooms at all.

The cactus bloom after several weeks of dryness and the length of time they have light they can be forced to bloom by putting thrm in a dark closet for 2 to 3 weeks then bring them out water and place them in the light

My cactus is ages old, it was my deceased sisters and it blooms winter and spring. Does anyone know the proper way to repot one, it looks like it could use it, soil is very hard and old.

I have 3 cacti; my ivory one blooms only at Christmas. My red one and my shocking pink one has bloomed continuously since Christmas.

Mine blooms at Thanksgiving. Maybe they need another name ?!
