Plant Care Guide:
Caring for your Christmas Cactus is a joyful and rewarding experience. Follow these guidelines to ensure your plant thrives:
Light: Place your Christmas Cactus in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight, as it can scorch the plant.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry, adjusting the frequency based on your home's humidity levels.
Temperature: Maintain a room temperature between 60°F to 70°F (15°C to 24°C). Avoid exposing it to drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.
Fertilization: Feed your Christmas Cactus with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every four to six weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn).
Blooming: To encourage abundant blooms during the holiday season, provide a period of darkness for about 12-14 hours a day for 3 - 6 weeks starting in late September or early October.
With minimal effort, your Christmas Cactus will continue to brighten your space with its festive elegance, whether it's the holiday season or not.
