My Christmas cactus has been blooming every week or two since Christmas this season, like yours! It takes maybe a week or so off, and then I find little buds on it, and soon enough they’ve opened. Usually covers about a third of the plant. Like you said, it’s been unusual activity, and I just thought it was because we’ve had such a weird winter.

My Cactus, ‘Miss Peach’ is nearly in FULL bloom once again. I have never seen anything like it!

It has got to be the wild swings in temperature. We’ve been going from using the heat to running the house fan, so she’s getting some temperature fluctuation.

I don’t know what else to attribute it to! I haven’t moved her - she’s in the same window, and watering schedule hasn’t changed. So lucky to have this ‘problem.’ ;)

Blooming now ... it was a birthday present to my dad Dec. 2022. It was a little sad looking after that, not blooming. Mom gave it some organic fertilizer & the plant perked up & appears to be a happy camper!
