Christmas cactus can be encouraged to flower two ways, by a light trigger or by temperature. A change in the light cycle will cause it to bloom , or if it can get a chill of cold air (don't freeze it) will also work.
My Christmas Cactus was just there till I put it outside this summer. I have new growth everywhere!! I will leave it outside until the temps really get really cold. Then I'll bring them in and place in a dark spot, and pray they will bloom. But, I have sooooo much new growth with the heat and humidity with them being outside..just have grown soooo much!
Thanks everyone for your suggestions, they do grow in the dessert right. I will put it outside.
I am in Florida and my Christmas Cactus only come in when we have a threat of freezing (or hurricanes )
Christmas cactus need declining light and cool temps to set blooms. Keep outside as long as you can without freezing -- natural light cycles and cooler night temperatures in the Fall generally prompt blooming.
