I have a christmas cactus that had blooms on it when I bought it but the blooms fell off before they bloomed. Also, the plant leaves don't
seem to hang over like most, they seem to be going inside themselfs.....any ideas why???

These are relatively easy plants to care for. Overwatering can make the leaves do funny things, but underwatering because they have the name cactus makes them shrivel up, fold and die. If you moved the plant from a cold place (which makes them bloom) to a warm place, the buds will fall off. This isn't unusual.
It takes time for these plants to acclimate to their new surroundings and spread out. Water about once a week, fertilize once a month with a weak fertilizer. Place them near indirect light and pretty much leave them alone. In the winter, you'll see the beautiful blooms again.
