How can I care for a Christmas Cactus?

Make sure you do not over water the plant. Place in indirect sunlight, If there is a foil wrap on the pot remove it.

Thanks, Janet!

Janet gave you good advice. Good luck with your new baby.

thanks Sue---I don't do well with live plants---for its safety, I ought to find her a suitable home where she doesn't have to thrive on neglect! Deb

Debbie, here is my suggestion. If you have a smart phone, program an alert for once a week for the plant to water it. I know some people who water every Sunday. And though the link that I have added says to fertilize every other week program an alert for maybe the first of the month. For women who are in there lovely years of having a monthly period that is regular, it also makes a good reminder of time to fertilize, or in a friend of mines case, change her furnace filter or anything else that may need to be done about once a month. Otherwise put it on your calendar whether it is an online or written one.
