How often should I water Christmas cactus in winter? How should I water it in winter?

1. Water every few days

The temperature is relatively low in winter, its growth rate is slow, and water evaporates slowly. Watering does not need to be too frequent, otherwise it will not be absorbed and will cause damage to the plant. If you can control the temperature well and provide it with an environment of about 18 degrees, you can water it once a week. If the temperature is around 10 degrees, the time should be extended. If the soil is not dry, you do not need to water it to avoid water accumulation.

2. How to water

When watering it, in addition to paying attention to the frequency, you should also pay attention to the time and method. The time should be chosen at noon when the temperature is slightly higher, and the water temperature should be as close to the soil temperature as possible, so as to reduce irritation and damage. The temperature in the morning and evening is too low, so it is best not to water. When watering, let it seep slowly from the edge of the pot, do not water directly on the head, and do not let the flower buds and leaves get wet, otherwise it will easily cause leaf rot and yellowing. In addition, do not water too much, just make the soil slightly moist.

3. Notes

If you plan to water it, you should freeze it in advance and place it indoors to dry for two days. One is to allow the chlorine in the tap water to evaporate. Second, it can ensure water temperature and reduce stimulation. Also, pay attention to placing it in a place with scattered light as much as possible after watering to allow the water to be absorbed slowly. Do not expose it to the sun in a hurry to avoid burns, especially there should be no water on the leaves, otherwise the leaves will easily rot when exposed to strong light.
