Just wondering if it's OK to move my Christmas Cacti which has just got the tips of flower buds showing (only very small). I brought it in a few weeks ago, after it's treat outside during summer!! and put it in the conservatory. I would like to move it somewhere that the flowers can be appreciated but believe that you can get bud drop if you move it.
Thank you.
Thanks for your helpful replies :-)

If the buds are still only just showing you should be OK moving it. The flowers drop if they are trying to turn round toward the light when their structure isn't flexible enough to allow it. So do it straight away, and keep the light in the same direction in relation to the cactus as it is now if you can. But at this stage you don't need to worry overmuch.

When ever I have moved mine I keep them facing the same way as they were in the garden. Hope your buds dont drop. :o))
