I'm pretty sure you've got to leave it where it is. They're closely related to the Christmas cactus and they'll drop their buds in a heartbeat if you move them. Something about the buds turning to face the light and twisting themselves off the plant.

I once read that if you turn the pot very gradually...like a half an inch every couple of days, the buds will adjust without dropping.

Do you really want to take the chance though?? I'd let it bloom, move it for like 3 ,minutes to take pictures to show everybody, and then put it right back where it was Big Grin

Good growing!! I've had one for years with no sign at all of a bud.
