Christmas Cactus finally thriving — the one thing that changed everything

I nearly gave up on Christmas Cactus after three months of mediocre results. Then I focused properly on providing the sunniest window or outdoor position available and within a few weeks the difference was dramatic.

It now lives in a greenhouse or conservatory staging and has genuinely transformed that spot. architectural sculptural form that needs no flowers to impress is even more impressive in person than I expected from photos. rapid growth during the warm summer months was spectacular — worth every bit of patience. If you're struggling with yours, providing the sunniest window or outdoor position available is almost certainly the issue.
