How to grow Christmas cactus in spring

1. Temperature

Naturally, the most appropriate is the best. Specifically, it is between ten and twenty-eight degrees. As for this upper limit, it probably won't be reached in spring. It is important to note this lower limit. In early spring, the temperature may be relatively low. Even if it warms up slightly, there may be a sudden drop in temperature or a large temperature difference between day and night. So, you have to be careful not to take it lightly at this time. If you take it out during the day, you have to move it indoors at night.

2. Moisture

This plant prefers a moist environment. Therefore, sufficient water is necessary, especially in spring when the growth rate will be fast. However, sufficient does not mean excessive, and water accumulation is definitely not acceptable. Water thoroughly each time. Then, observe the condition of the soil to determine whether to water it next time.

3. Lighting

This is a short-day plant that needs eight to eight hours of light a day to grow, especially in spring. The temperature in early spring is not high, and sufficient light is needed to promote its growth. Moreover, the entire spring is the growing season, which requires more sufficient light. Don't worry about the light exposure time being too long, as the light in spring is generally not particularly strong.

4. Ventilation

In fact, this is something that needs attention in almost every season, including spring. If the ventilation is not good, then there is a high possibility of some diseases and pests, such as red spiders. Therefore, it is best to place it in a well-ventilated window, balcony, etc.

5. Fertilizer

Fertilizer is very important in spring, and we have repeatedly mentioned its growth rate above. Some diluted liquid fertilizer can be applied. As for the frequency, it can be controlled to once a week.
