I've been busy with other stuff in life lately and my orchids and other plants have been suffering major neglect. Didn't even notice this until last night. I usually don't see blooms on my X'mas cactus until mid December. I've got these in every color, filled with more buds this year than ever before. I fertilized regularly all spring and summer so, maybe this is why? I bought a lavendar one last year (out of bloom) and I can't wait to see this one. I'm just hoping the tags weren't switched
Anyway, thought you'd like to see.

I lov these plant too, they make me think of x-mas. Yours is going to be stunning when it is in full bloom!
I have three of these (light pink, pink and red) and it's a good thing that they thrive on neglect! The pink and red ones have tiny little buds forming, they should be in bloom about a week before x-mas! The light pink one is probably too small to bloom, it's just a few leaf segments a friend gave me last x-mas.

Camille, mine have gotten so big that I cut them down to save space and potted up the cuttings. The new little plants I've potted are all budding too so it's quite possible you'll see buds on yours, this year.
I love these guys! so easy to grow!
Mine started blooming a few weeks ago! I did think that was earlier than usual but wasn't sure (they do usually bloom before Christmas for me)
here's pic of one - haven't got pix of the other (pink) yet as buds only started to fully open this week.
