I received a pinky/peachy color Christmas cactus about 10 years ago. It has never bloomed since then.Last year and this year it finally bloomed but the blooms are pure white. What is causing this?

Some Christmas cactus are white.
Hi Diana, your Christmas Cacti might be a hybrid and the color change could be due to it reverting back to the dominant "parent" plant. Growing conditions (temperature, level of light, not enough fertilizer, or too much fertilizer, plant maturity etc.) can also play a role
PH of the soil can change flower colour. Perhaps the plant has used up the nutrients in the pot and this has caused the colour change.
