How to care for grafted Christmas cactus

one. To control the lighting:

Because the Christmas cactus has just been grafted and has been separated from the original plant for not long, it will easily wither due to losing too much water. Therefore, at this time, it must not be exposed to too much sunlight. It should be moved to a cool place to reduce the evaporation of its water as much as possible.

two. To regulate moisture:

After this plant is grafted, it is best to water it moderately to keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. Normally, water it every 3 to 4 days. Be careful when watering to prevent water from entering the grafted incision.

three. To control the amount of fertilizer:

Apply fertilizer to it appropriately. If it does not wilt after half a month after grafting, it means it has survived. In this case, you can apply an appropriate amount of fertilizer to it after a month to meet the nutrients it needs for growth.

Four. Special reminder

1. Put up the shelf for it in time. Because the Christmas cactus has just been successfully grafted and survived, its own stems and leaves are relatively soft, so during its growth process it is necessary to promptly use it as a rack to fix it and tie it up, so as to finally achieve the purpose of keeping its shape complete and beautiful.

2. Prevent it from getting sick and control the mosquitoes around it in time. This plant is very prone to rot. If it is diseased, you can use a sterilized knife to scrape off the rotten parts and apply sulfur powder to disinfect it. Bugs that like this plant are usually scale insects and aphids. If there are insects, but the number is relatively small, you can brush them off with a brush; if the number is relatively large, you can spray them with mixed medicine to kill the pests, and then spray it again after 20 days.
