How to grow Christmas cactus

1. Soil

The soil used for cultivating plants must have good looseness and drainage. You can use leaf mold and a small amount of charcoal mud mixed with some sand to prepare the soil for the plants. Only when the soil is fertile enough can the plants grow well.

2. Water

You must be careful when watering the plants. The plants are not afraid of being dry, but they are most afraid of being killed by excessive watering. The plant is a succulent plant, so do not water it too much, otherwise it will inhibit root breathing and cause rhizome rot. In addition, when watering, be sure not to spill water on the flower buds of the plant, otherwise the flower buds will fall off and the plant will not bloom. In summer, watering can be increased appropriately, and in winter, watering once a week is generally sufficient.

3. Lighting

The plant does not need too much sunlight. The sunlight it receives every day is fixed at a fixed time. In summer, the plant should be shaded and protected from direct strong light. The temperature of the plant cultivation environment is generally around 22 degrees.

4. Fertilization

If you want the plants to grow well, you must fertilize them frequently. During the peak growth period, you can fertilize the plants about once every two weeks. You do not need to fertilize the plants when the temperature is too high or too low.
