   <br/>&#62; Dear All,
   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; &#160;&#160;&#160; I have three Christmas cacti. For two years in a row the one in the 
   <br/>&#62; dining room, which briefly gets sun in the morning, has come into 
   <br/>&#62; blossom at about Christmas with relatively few blossoms.
   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; &#160;&#160;&#160; But the two in my bedroom have come much earlier (early Nov.) have 
   <br/>&#62; been loaded with flowers and briefly get afternoon sun. One is many 
   <br/>&#62; years older than the dining room plant and one is several years younger.
   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; &#160;&#160;&#160; My bedroom&#160; has a beetle collection which receives 
   <br/>&#62; paradichlorobenzene once a year; usually late winter. And likely has 
   <br/>&#62; methane at times. Can either of these induce flowering in Christmas 
   <br/>&#62; cactus ?
   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; &#160;&#160;&#160; It may just be temperature. The house is usually heated by wood 
   <br/>&#62; only and the dining will typically be warmer than the bedroom in 
   <br/>&#62; fall/winter.
