I don't know what I did differently this year, but my Christmas cactus must have liked it. When I came home from my sister's house the day after Christmas there were 8 buds on the plant.
At first I thought I must be mistaken, but all of these little knobs became buds and then developed into flowers. One of them got knocked off before it fully bloomed, but the others did great.
This is the only yellow Christmas cactus I have ever seen. Mostly you see the dark pink variety. I have had those in the past. I have also had an Easter Cactus which blooms close to Easter in the spring. That was also a deep pink.
I love my Christmas cactus. I just hope I can get it to repeat its performance next year.
