High so this is my 1st time to have cactus and I've got a little group that I purchased at a market and I'm just wondering if the Christmas cactus are growing the way they're supposed to they seem to be changing colors I don't know can the somebody give me some advice

Hi Cactishell,

That cactus in your photo isn't the Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera truncata) that I'm familiar with so I hope someone recognizes it and will be able to offer advice.

I cannot ID it either. Although it is not a Christmas Cactus, as Lin has pointed out, it does look a bit like a Christmas tree.

A couple of other plants with one of the common names being "Christmas Cactus", perhaps your plant is one of these?

Desert Christmas Cactus (Cylindropuntia leptocaulis)
Eve's Needle (Austrocylindropuntia subulata 'Monstrosa')

Another with a common name of "Christmas Cactus" that looks very similar to your plant Eve's Needle Cactus (Austrocylindropuntia subulata)

Yes, Eve's Needle (I'm not going to try to spell it). Yours is extremely etiolated from a lack sunlight. It needs to be in your very sunniest window. It can take temperatures down into the 20's, you may want to consider taking it outside.

If you do move it out, acclimate it to sun and cold slowly.
