Can I water the Christmas cactus when it is blooming?

1. Is it possible to water?

In fact, you can water it when it is blooming.

Although Christmas cactus requires very little water when it is blooming, you cannot cut off its water supply directly, otherwise its flowers will fall off prematurely. Water is the source of life for all things. No matter what kind of plant it is, it needs to be given different amounts of water at different times, otherwise its growth will be directly blocked and it will become exhausted. Therefore, the water supply cannot be cut off even when it is flowering.

2. Water volume control

Although you can water the flowers when they are blooming, you must pay attention to the amount. You cannot water them as much as you want. If you are not careful, it will have a bad effect. Generally, you should replenish water once every half a month. Remember that the soil in the flowerpot cannot be too dry, but of course it cannot be too wet, otherwise it will be bad for the flowers. Also, when watering, be sure not to water it thoroughly.

3. Operation time and water temperature

When watering during flowering, be sure to choose the right time to water. It is usually better to do it in the cool morning, because both the temperature and the environment are very suitable at this time. In addition, the water temperature must be controlled. Generally, the water temperature should be consistent with the environment. This does not mean that any water temperature will be fine. Too high or too low will have a certain impact.

4. Operation method

When watering, you must be even. Generally, you should water less when the soil in the pot is moist. There must be no water leakage under the pot, especially when planting Christmas cactus in sticky soil. You must not water it through. You must water it less.

5. Tips

In addition to watering less during flowering, you should also be careful not to fix its position at this time. Because it is very sensitive to light, if you keep changing its position, the flower bud will easily twist its direction and eventually break, so that it will not bloom beautiful flowers. So when it blooms, be sure not to change its position, otherwise it will continue to drop its buds.
