The past few years I've neglected my Christmas cactus, but it still bloomed faithfully. This summer I finally repotted it in Miracle Grow potting soil and then fertilized it every month with Miracle Grow. Full strength. Not recommended, but I did it anyway and was rewarded with tremendous growth.
I wasn't sure I would get any buds this year since all the growth went into the plant, but there are a few. And they are stellar. Huge. Once blooming season is finished I'll start fertilizing with half strength Miracle Grow. No repotting. And we'll see what happens next year.
And I think I'll get another Christmas cactus this season since it's my favorite.
It's been a busy week. I'm shortening a sequin jacket and a puffer coat. If you want it done I can tell you how to do it but I won't do it for you.
But I'm grateful for you tube to help me along. I would have gone about it completely wrong.

Your Christmas cactus is gorgeous!! Don't think mine is going to bloom this year. Will copy and save your 'instructions' on potting soil, fertilizer.
