What to do if Christmas cactus doesn't bloom

1. Reduce nitrogen fertilizer

1. Reason: Although applying nitrogen fertilizer can promote flowering during the growth of the plant, if too much is applied and there is a lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, the nutrition will be too sufficient, thus affecting its flowering.

2. Solution: At this time, dilute the excess nitrogen fertilizer, add some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers appropriately, and pay attention to applying less nitrogen fertilizer in the future to ensure its normal growth.

2. Appropriate amount of light

1. Reason: It is a short-day plant. If the light is not correct, it will affect its flowering. At the same time, some flower lovers will place it under light in winter, but because the lighting time becomes longer, the flower buds will be affected and it will not bloom.

2. Solution: Place it in a place where it can naturally enjoy both daytime sunlight and nighttime darkness, so that it will bloom as soon as possible.

3. Increase the temperature

1. Reason: When the temperature at which it grows is lower than 15 degrees, its development will be affected. At this time, the formation of flower buds will be affected, thus affecting flowering. If the temperature drops to 0 degrees, it will even die directly.

2. Solution: When it grows, it must be given a suitable growth environment. The temperature is best between 15 and 20 degrees, so that the flower buds can develop normally.

4. Proper pruning

1. Reason: If you do not trim it for a long time while growing it, the old branches will consume a lot of branches, thus affecting the germination of new branches, and the flowering of the plant will be restricted.

2. Solution: Regularly cut off branches that are too long and too old. This can promote the growth of a large number of new leaf-like stems to ensure normal flowering of the plant.
