How to grow Christmas cactus in autumn

How to grow Christmas cactus in autumn

1. Scientific fertilization

At the beginning of autumn, Christmas cactus will recover from its dormant state and begin to grow rapidly. At this time, it is necessary to apply nitrogen fertilizer every 7-10 days to promote the growth of its branches and leaves. However, after a period of time, when the temperature drops to around 15℃, it will enter the bud formation stage. At this time, you should stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and instead apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote the differentiation of flower buds so that it can bloom more flowers.

2. Watering in moderation

After autumn, as its growth rate gradually accelerates, the frequency of watering needs to be slightly increased to ensure sufficient water to help it grow. But be careful not to water too much, causing water accumulation in the soil, otherwise it will damage the root system of the plant.

3. Uniform lighting

In autumn, it needs to be given softer diffuse light and not be exposed to direct strong light. In addition, you need to rotate the flower pot every few days. This will allow it to receive light more evenly and comprehensively, avoiding the problem of it blooming more on one side and less on the other.

4. Proper pruning

Because it grows faster during this period, it tends to grow in a messy manner. At this time, it needs to be pruned and its messy branches need to be cut off to maintain the beauty of the plant shape.
