My dear child, Christmas cacti are native to the tropical rainforests of South America. They bloom in response to shorter days and longer nights, a phenomenon known as photoperiodism. This means they have an internal mechanism that senses the change in light conditions, which triggers the production of flowers in December. However, with proper care and environmental conditions, Christmas cacti can bloom at other times of the year. The early blooming of your plant could be due to the presence of bright light or other factors in your home.
