Very beautiful color. I have three different colors.

Mine likes to bloom whenever they feel like it. Just started feeding them.

I had to give mine away after my new cat started to leave teeth marks on the leaves. Now, which one has to go.........the cat or the cactus??

Mine does the same. Usually starts about Sept or Oct. This year hasn't started yet so will see what Christmas brings. Love those pretty blooms.

I have three, pink, red and yellow. They spend the summer on the porch and reward me by blooming profusely from now until well after Thanksgiving. They brighten my days.

I have 6 Christmas cactus and 4 of them are either full of buds or blooming. So this year I guess I will call it a Halloween cactus. Like selm I no longer call them Christmas as they just seem to bloom when ever they feel like. I have moved them all to a room that stays a little cooler and they seem to like it a lot.
