Question
The plant is currently blooming.  What I need to know is transplant information as I would like to keep the plant.  Since this is the first time I have purchased this plant I also need care information.

Your information and help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Answer
Kathryn,

You have a zygo cactus or Christmas Cactus. The Mylar just refers to the plastic cover that was on it when you bought it. You should not repot it. It is fine in the pot you purchased it in and if you want it more decorative you can set that pot inside a more decorative pot. The soonest you should repot it is in the spring between April 15th and June 15th. Then only move it up to a pot with a 2 inch larger diameter than the current pot.

The care info below cane from the following website:http://www.denverplants.com/flower/html/zygo.htm

Next to the Poinsettia... "Christmas Cactus" are the second most popular house plant for the holiday season. When shopping for a "Christmas Cactus"... select one with lots of tight buds similar to the pictured plant.
"Christmas Cactus" are easy to keep... in fact I'll bet you have a grandmother that has had her plant for over 20 years. Place your Zygo cactus in any well lit area. Check your plant for water every couple of weeks... but don't let your plant get "bone" or "dust" dry. Feed your plant bi-monthly with a balanced liquid plant food.

To coax your plant to re-bloom you'll need to chill it. About 6 to 8 weeks before your want your plant to flower... place it in a cool or unheated area of 55 to 60 degrees, and leave it there for two weeks. Don't let your plant freeze outdoors. After two weeks replace your plant to it's original home. As early as Thanksgiving or as late as Christmas... your plant should flower again.

If you have more questions feel free to write again. Good luck.
