Do you mean that some flower buds have fallen off? I'm afraid that Christmas Cacti do drop some buds, especially if they've been moved, or are a bit dry, or in a draught - they're a bit temperamental that way.
I'm afraid you can't grow the flower buds, but if some of the greenery gets knocked off you can plant it like a cutting and it will root and grow into a new plant. I usually plant two 'sprigs' back to back so they develop into one plant which is even all around the pot.
Hope that helps

Hey! Thank you Dovefromabove,
Yeah I didn't think I could. I have kept the 'leafy' parts to use and hopefully they will re-grow! Thank you for your quick reply !!
If you want to re-pot it do it when it isn't flowering.
Ok Welshonion. Thank you for the advice!
