OK, you guys made me do it!
This is what I call my Halloween cactus as it always blooms this time of year. I also have a "Thanksgiving" one that is lightish pink to white, and real "Christmas" ones that bloom then.
I have left them in the same pots for years and they are still faithful to bloom. This one is in my bathroom window which is totally shaded by a cedar tree, others I have are in various windows throughout the house, and the ones with more light seem to get more blooms. I have heard that they need a 1/2 day of darkness to bloom well (ie not even artificial light). They are VERY forgiving with watering neglect.
