Here is how to trigger fresh blooms on your Christmas cactus long after the holidays

Proper light placement and regular rotation of your Christmas cactus can ensure even blooming throughout the plant. Place the plant in a location where it receives bright, indirect sunlight, such as near a north or east-facing window.

Rotate the plant every few weeks to ensure all sides receive equal light exposure, which promotes symmetrical growth and flowering. This practice helps prevent the plant from becoming lopsided and encourages blooms on all sides.

If your Christmas cactus is stubborn and refuses to bloom, a reset may be necessary. Begin by placing the plant in a dark location for 12 to 14 hours a day for at least six weeks to simulate the natural reduction in daylight.Ensure the plant is in a cooler environment with temperatures around 50-55°F (10-13°C) during the night. Check for any signs of overwatering or poor soil conditions and adjust accordingly. With patience and the right conditions, even the most stubborn cactus can be coaxed into blooming again.
