I keep mine in dappled shade during our autumn-winter-early spring and in full shade during our summer. They really can't survive direct sun at any time of the year here. I only have two of them at the moment, but I'll be propagating more this year as they've both matured quite a bitBernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481571533790905294.post-85398063633304601232013-06-22T11:21:49.067+10:002013-06-22T11:21:49.067+10:00Great to see a Christmas Cactus bloooming in June ...Great to see a Christmas Cactus bloooming in June -- Satin Bows does seem more appropriate.
