I’m not an expert but where do you keep it?

Mine blooms twice a year, I water it when the soil feels dry and it lives on my kitchen windowsill so gets a fair amount of light and the humidity from cooking helps.

It might be worth repotting it in the new year to a larger pot, also do you ever have any coffee grounds? I sprinkle coffee grounds over the soil on quite a few of my plants and they all seem to respond really well to it.

kitchen window. It grows well but never seems to bloom. Will try the coffee grounds.

It does look lovely and healthy! I hope someone else’s can offer better advice, I’m a novice so still learning how to care for my plants, my Christmas cactus was the first one I got so maybe I’ve just been lucky with it, they are very beautiful.

They are slightly odd plants because they are from a jungle so they look like succulents but actually like to be quite well watered and fed. I would repot it in spring into new compost in a very slightly bigger pot and then give it a really good water and feed once a fortnight over the summer next year. The leaves should be quite stiff. I think it looks like it could do with a water now?
