Another way to propagate your Christmas cactus if you have two or more plants with different colored flowers is to use hand pollination. Specifically, you must use a small brush to collect the pollen from one and place it on the other, and wait for the plant to bear fruit. These will have small seeds that can be planted in the spring.
