Cultivation and care of Christmas cactus in spring, is it better to change the pot in spring or autumn?

1. Cultivation and care of Christmas cactus in spring

1. Watering: In early spring, Christmas cactus is still in the flowering stage and should be watered in small amounts. If the soil is not dry, you don't need to water it yet, just keep it slightly moist. And watering should be done when the temperature rises at noon. After the flowers fade, it will stop growing and require even less water, so the water level of the Chinese cabbage should be controlled appropriately.

2. Light: The light in spring is very gentle, and it likes the sun. It can be placed in a place with good light to allow it to receive the sun all day. The flowers will bloom better with sufficient light. If there is a lack of light, the flowering period will end prematurely.

3. Temperature: The temperature is still very low in early spring. It is recommended not to move it outdoors too early. It is safer to place it in a warm place indoors. Low temperatures can easily cause frostbite, which will hinder flowering and later growth. It is best to control the temperature between 10-28 degrees. If you move it outdoors during the day, you must move it indoors at night. Otherwise, the large temperature difference can easily cause the flowers to fall.

4. Pruning: In March and April in spring, the flowers begin to slowly wither. The remaining flowers should be pruned in time to reduce nutrient consumption, which is beneficial to its recovery.

2. Is it better to change pots in spring or autumn?

It is better to repot Christmas cactus in spring, specifically in March or April. Because the flowers have begun to wither at this time, the plant will stop growing. Repotting at this time can reduce damage to it, and the climate and temperature are also suitable, which is conducive to recovery. In autumn, flower buds have begun to form and nutrients are officially accumulated. Repotting will affect the later flowering and growth.
