Taboos of growing Christmas cactus in winter

Do not expose to direct sunlight

Some flower lovers’ flowers finally bloomed, but they withered soon after. This may be because the flowers are exposed to strong light. At this time, the temperature should be controlled at 10-15℃, and it should be placed in a location with scattered light. This way, the flowering period can be extended, which means that the viewing time can be longer.

Don't Ignore the Support Bracket

This kind of plant needs to be equipped with a support frame of appropriate size, especially for large plants that are already 5 or 6 years old. The pressure on the branches will become greater and greater, and the support frame should be replaced with a larger one, otherwise the crown may crush the branches. If it is not replaced for a long time, the previous frame may become rotten and it will be difficult to continue to play a supporting role.

The crown should not be too thick

If the crown is too thick, it will not only affect the light and ventilation, but also affect the appearance of the entire plant. Therefore, it is necessary to prune it appropriately. A two-layer crown is the most beautiful, and then use a double-layer support. This will not only change the previous ventilation conditions, but also allow more flowers to bloom. Needless to say, the shape will definitely be more beautiful.

Don't Ignore Pests and Diseases

Planting flowers is more afraid of diseases and pests. If you encounter diseases and pests, do not ignore them. If you water too much, it will cause root rot, which may also develop into leaf blight, so you must water in moderation, especially when the temperature is already very high, you must control the amount of water. If you encounter insects, you should first scrape them off and then spray them with appropriate pesticides. However, the prevention and control methods for each type of insect are different. I hope everyone will read it carefully before solving it.
