Any tips on caring for a Christmas cactus? I got it for Christmas and it was full of buds but only two bloomed and the rest fell off and one of the stems fell off as well. :(

Is it getting enough light?

Before it was, and it started to burn at the ends so I was trying to figure out where to move it toda but there’s a snow storm so I’m going to try to find a lamp for it

I believe that is a Thanksgiving cactus, so it may be done blooming for this season too
