    I love the soft pink color of your flowers. I'm following because I just bought 2. 😊

    It depends on where you live - if your outside temperatures don’t drop below 55F/10C, you could leave your Schlumbergera on the porch. This will be fine for the flowering season but temperatures would have to increase for good growth to resume. They prefer 70-80F /20-26C in the peak growing season. If temperatures go lower than 55 on your porch, I would put it inside, in a bright spot without too much direct sunlight. Another tip for a new owner: these are not “cactuses” in the sense that they grow in dry arid conditions - they are tropical epiphytes that require moisture and humidity. Make sure the soil drains well but also remains somewhat moist. Don’t let the soil completely dry out.

    My mom has one that she keeps by a window and it is thriving. It has been for a few years, ever since she got it.
