The amount of light is very important.

Direct light isn't always necessary or ideal. I've seen previously non-blooming succulents start to bloom when placed on a shaded balcony next to a hill that reflected lots of light...making it very bright without sunlight directly hitting the plants.

The best spot in my yard is on the east side of my house where plants get morning light, when it is relatively cool, and shade in the late afternoon when it is hot. I've got a tree nearby that also gives me dappled shade for plants that don't like direct light even for part of the day.

If your plant is inside and you take it outside, leave it in full shade for several days before it gets any direct sunlight. All plants grown indoors for any length of time will have leaves tender to strong sunlight and they will be damaged from abruptly getting too much sun. They will toughen up some just from being outside in shade and may need to moved into full sun for a short time each day to avoid damage.

I've got a cactus it is a small round little thing, I've got no idea if it flowers or not (the florist said it should). I'll give this a go thanks.
