How To Care Christmas Cactus Live Plant
How To Care Christmas Cactus Live Plant
- Light: Place your Christmas cactus in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so a location with filtered sunlight is ideal.
- Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be careful not to overwater, as the roots may rot. Ensure proper drainage in the pot.
- Temperature: Keep your Christmas cactus in a cool room (around 60-70°F or 16-21°C). It prefers a cooler environment, especially during its blooming period.
- Humidity: This plant thrives in higher humidity. If the air in your home is dry, consider placing the plant on a humidity tray or near a humidifier.
- Fertilizing: Feed your Christmas cactus with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the resting period (fall and winter).
- Pruning: After blooming, prune the plant to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Cutting back the tips of the branches can also help promote branching for a fuller plant.
- Rest Period: To trigger blooms, your Christmas cactus needs a rest period with reduced light and cooler temperatures. Reduce watering and keep the plant in a dark place for about 12-14 hours a day for 2-3 weeks in the fall.
By following these steps, your Christmas cactus will flourish, offering vibrant, festive blooms year after year!
