Can Christmas cactus be exposed to the sun? What to do if it gets sunburned?

1. Whether you can get sun exposure

Christmas cactus can be exposed to the sun. It is a short-day plant and can be placed in the sun when the sunlight is not strong. It is best for us to give the plants different light intensities according to different seasons.

The light in spring is very weak, so you can put it in the sun all day to give it enough light. However, it needs a little shade after entering summer. The sunlight at this time will be very strong, so it needs to be moved to a shady place or indoors in time. In autumn, you need to gradually increase the light exposure and place it on a sunny windowsill, which is conducive to the differentiation of flower buds. The light is weaker in winter, so it needs to be placed on the south balcony indoors to receive light all day.

2. Treatment methods after sunburn

If it is exposed to strong sunlight and gets sunburned, it needs to be moved to a cool place as soon as possible, or shade measures should be taken immediately to let it recover in a semi-shaded environment. You can also spray water on the ground appropriately, which can increase the humidity of the breeding environment. It must not be exposed to excessive sunlight in midsummer, and the breeding environment must be well ventilated.
