1. Schlumbergera

When choosing soil for growing Christmas cactus, it is best to buy nutrient soil sold on the market in advance. This kind of soil is loose in nutrients and has good air permeability, making it perfect for growing Christmas cactus.

The most important factor in growing Christmas cactus is light. Only sufficient light can make Christmas cactus bloom brightly colored flowers. When planting Christmas cactus in winter, try to ensure 4-6 hours of light. At other times, we can plant the plants in a cool and ventilated place.

Regarding the issue of water for Christmas cactus, do not water it too much in winter. It is enough to water it once every ten days or so. You can use a watering bottle to spray some water on the surface of Christmas cactus, which will help the growth of Christmas cactus leaves.

Choose thin fertilizer and water in winter, and you can use organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer in other seasons. Christmas cactus will bloom vigorously only when there is sufficient nutrition. The frequency of fertilization in winter is once a month, and the frequency of fertilization in other warm seasons can be appropriately increased.

2. Camellia

Camellia does not like water, so when planting, a portion of sand should be mixed into the soil. This will reduce the problem of water accumulation in the pot soil when watering in the future. Combined with a suitable proportion of nutrient soil, it will be a very suitable soil for growing camellia.

Normally, try to give the camellia as much sunlight as possible. Full-sun exposure is also fine. Sufficient light will ensure the quality of flowering, especially for plants like this one with larger and brighter flowers.

It is best to choose slightly moist soil for camellia. Do not water too much when watering in winter. It is okay if the soil is a little dry. The frequency is about once every 10 days, and water it thoroughly each time. Remember not to water too much.

Remember to fertilize the plants before flowering. It is best to use phosphorus fertilizer as the main fertilizer. You can also use soybean water and organic fertilizer as a supplement. Apply a little nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer during the growing season to help the plants bloom and grow.

These two kinds of flowers are particularly suitable for growing in winter and are very frost-resistant. Camellia can survive at minus 8 degrees Celsius.
