I was debating on getting it but wanted go see it first before getting 🫪😅

I'm only watering when the soil is completely dry, when I do water it its with the liquid fertilizer "organic indoor houseplant food" - I'll be buying thr cactus one soon as I get the time 😅, its facing a west facing window, there is a vent that blows cold air to keep the house cooler that sits above the window (I'm thinking the cold draft is causing it?), and there is some white fuzzy stuff. I don't remember seeing it when I purchased it in the plant shop but I could've missed it. Any suggestions that could help me? Please and Thank You 😊

Okay two things, this brightest leaf took literally a whole month to un ravel.. 😑 I'm pretty sure its cause of low humidity?

Second, what is going on with this top leaf? I'm thinking I might need to step back from fertilizing.

Little background story, put it in hydroponics to get more roots, brought the one bright leaf, 2 older leafs were sacrificed during that hydroponic time period.. but now with it being potted into new soil and weekly fertilizer watering am I doing too much..?

Haha alright last time I posted I got ripped about hydroponics. This is new, never seen this type and wanted to be told how to keep this beauty alive and well. I was planning on taking it out of the pot and placing in some orchid bark, but then I saw on Google that it needs a different type of soil.. I believe it is a, Burrageara Nelly Isler.

I've always wanted to get one but I heard they are prone to spider mites? Any tips and ticks on how to keep it alive and thrive ✨️ 😉

Zone 8b, Oregon. I have a Christmas cactus and we've had it for maybe 2-3 years. Its has only bloomed 1 time lol. It was already in bloom when I first got it and when it bloomed it was not in December.. but in February (this year) and just dropped its last flower in late May. I think there is new growth? I heard that to encourage blooming to put it in a dark closet? Currently summer here. I have her sitting on the a shelf near a North and East facing window. Bright sunny light in the morning and slowly fades throughout the day.

Should I fertilize through the summer months and then when should I move her to a darker room to stimulate blooms? Also have thought about repotting but not sure when in thr year to do that.

I've had my eyes on this plant for years, when I found it I immediately purchased. It was thriving and growing very fast. Some neglect occurred on my end, not keeping the soil moist and not enough light. I was considering chopping but now idk.. we moved, better lighting and I'm doing better with keeping the soil moist. There is a lot of new growth happening in previous spots where the older leaves died.. some leaves are crimping and I saw this one lady misting her's to prevent more crispy edges. And they are borderline translucent.

So do I chop & propergate the section or let her do her thing and see where life takes us??
