    Check the watering. Soil should be lightly moist but dry out between watering.
    Also they do like cooler conditions.
    To much fertilizer will also cause the plant to drop leaves. You need to fertilize only after the plant is done blooming, once a month.

    It is an easter cactus based on identification of bloom and stem segments. Holiday cacti have the potential to bloom 2-3 times a year if the conditions are just right.
