When do I feed a Christmas Cactus?
My 15 year old Christmas Cactus has bloomed at Halloween for the past 2 years. We moved last year, but the cactus stayed in bloom until springtime! (Longer than ever before) I feel that I should feed it, but I don't want to mess it up. :) It is now about 3 feet across and it is gorgeous! Should I feed it while it is in bloom? Thanks!

I just give mine some miracle grow water soluble every 6 mos. don't transplant them they love to be root bound especially to bloom. I have some night blooming ones in hanging baskets(from the same family) they smell so good.
