Christmas Cactus

I've had mine for 9 years now, bought at a Christmas fayre.

It has bright pink flowers. Lovely.

O no!! Problems already!! All my buds are dropping off!!
I've not repotted the cactus yet and was going to wait till February time, its standing in a saucer with some gravel in it and I've only been putting the water in the saucer to the level of the gravel, its stood by the kitchen window but not on the window sill so its getting light but not direct light and shouldn't be cold as its not on the window sill. What am I doing wrong??

Nothing, as I said in my post "they are very prone to drop their buds if environment [temperature / humity etc] changes"

Unfortunately you have now discovered this yourself

At least it will be fine next Christmas, unless it decides to flower at Easter, mine used to flower Easter, but has now gone to Christmas, no idea why
