It is an indoor cactus, It has never had sunlight which and it seems happy where it is at the moment.

I want to try to slowy turn it into an oudoor and try to make it bloom this spring.

Any advice on how to go about it, i know it has something to do with watering it more than usual? but i am not sure.

Not too sure about the cactus but the bickies are definitely arnotts assortment :D. Toughening it up is relatively easy, just give it a little sunlight each day. Now is a good time to start with the weather being still a little cool. Just think of it as skin, we tan for 10 minutes each day and gradually stay in the sun a little more each time so we don't burn. Don't hit it with a heap of water either, just a bit more now and then. Go light with fertilizer, you don't want lanky growth. Happy flowering!
