My Christmas cactus hasn't bloomed this year or last year :(. It is healthy and grows new leaves frequently. Why is this?

    You can force the blooms like nurseries. The plants need at least 30 nights of total darkness for 12 hours each night in cooler temperatures at about 55 degrees. It simulates a winter environment in the desert like climate. Turning on room lights during the night restarts the cycle. The plants still need daylight or a grow light during the day. Check online for detailed instructions. 🪴🍀

    I just pulled my away from the light in the window. Suggestion, just move it away from the light. My started budding a week ago and I move it less than a month ago. Give that a try.

    Also make sure to check what fertilizer you are using Make sure your fertilizer is higher on phosphorus than nitrogen for the blooms
