Sarah in any plant with such a massive flower to leaf-mass ratio you will definately sacrifice some green growth potential in order to enjoy those big blooms, but so what, lol? ;^) With these plants it's worth it IMHO!

Docgipe, I'm not sure I would really agree that easter cactus have similar bloom triggers as christmas & thanksgiving cactus. They are a markedly different category, and many people who can reliably bloom christmas cactus can have a really hard time with the easter cactus. These need the cold & dry period that christmas cactus does not. Sometimes keeping them next to a cool window in late winter and watering sparsely is enough. :^)
