Christmas cactuses

I see blooming Christmas cactuses for sale at all the garden centers, but mine isn't blooming yet. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Christmas cactuses

Christmas cactus blooms best with a combination of long nights and cool temperatures.

Also:

  1. To trigger bloom, keep your plant on the dry side.
  2. Give it at least 12 hours of darkness daily beginning about Oct. 1,
  3. and keep the temperature below 55F.
