I have an indoor Christmas cactus plant. It is unhappy because I do not have a lot sunlight indoor. Can I put the plant out and grow it outdoor? I live in SF Bay Area (east bay to be precise)

As long as the temperature stays above 60° F and it gets enough light, it should be fine outside.

i hear cactuses do wonderfully outside in that area. just remember to take it inside at night if it gets too cold.
