How to grow Christmas cactus during flowering period

1. Breeding methods

1. Temperature: The temperature should not be too high after the plant blooms. The flowers are relatively delicate and too hot is not conducive to their growth, so the temperature should be within the range of 5-15℃ at this time. If the temperature is too high, the plant may bloom early, but the flowers will only last for a short time. When the flowers are blooming, you can adjust the temperature lower so that you can increase the time you spend enjoying the flowers.

2. Light: Sunlight plays a big role in the growth of this type of plant, so the plant needs more sunlight after flowering. It blooms in October and February of the following year. During this period, the light is not very strong. It is a better practice to place the plant on a balcony with good air circulation.

3. Watering: Don’t give the plant too much water after it blooms. Wait until the soil is dry enough before watering the plant.

2. Precautions

1. When the sunlight is too strong, you can shade the plants from the sun.

2. In order to make the plant grow more flower buds, spray it with some water before it is ready to grow flower buds to increase the moisture content in the air. When the flowers are blooming at their best, water the plants less frequently to prevent the flowers from falling off due to excessive moisture in the soil.
