I've pulled my holiday cacti from their summer quarters in the semi-shade garden as they are now setting buds. It's always a reminder to me that the holidays are fast approaching!
I put them out where they get full afternoon sun for about 6-7 hours so the buds stay drier. I've found that excess moisture on the young buds can cause a lot of them to drop.
