How to grow Christmas cactus well and how to build a frame for Christmas cactus

1. How to maintain

1. Appropriate amount of water: Watering during maintenance should be determined according to the growth conditions. During the growing season, water frequently to keep the soil slightly moist. But water control is necessary in summer and winter. The growth rate is slow in these two seasons. Do not water until the soil is dry to avoid water accumulation, otherwise the roots will easily rot.

2. Reasonable fertilization: Fertilizer is indispensable for better maintenance, and it should be applied frequently. For example, in autumn, it is necessary to apply appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote the differentiation of flower buds so that the plant can bloom better. In spring, thin fertilizers should be applied frequently for supplementary fertilization. It is recommended to dilute the fertilizer before applying it so that it can be better absorbed.

3. Suitable temperature: It likes a warm environment. If the temperature can be around 20 degrees, it is best and most conducive to its growth. It has poor cold resistance, so temperature must be controlled in winter. The temperature must not be lower than 10 degrees. Also pay attention to the high temperatures in summer, provide more ventilation, and do not place it in a closed place, otherwise it will be easily infected by pests and diseases.

2. How to build a frame

It is very simple to build a frame for Christmas cactus. Just prepare two iron rings, four wooden sticks and one meter of rope. When building the pot, insert four wooden sticks into the soil, and then fix the iron ring to the wooden sticks with ropes. Pay attention to the size of the plant and determine the height of the wooden stick. It will not work if it is too high or too short. The flower umbrella will be formed when the height is suitable for flowering in the later stage, which will look more beautiful.
