Maintenance of Christmas cactus during flowering, flowering time

1. Maintenance during flowering

1. Temperature control: Pay attention to temperature control during the flowering period. The temperature should be maintained between 15 and 18 degrees. Do not keep in a low temperature environment for a long time, otherwise the plant will be frostbitten, and it will be difficult for flower buds to differentiate and bloom.

2. Increase light: It is mostly in winter when it blooms, and the light is relatively soft at this time. It can be placed in a well-lit place indoors and get more sunlight, so that the plant can carry out photosynthesis better and accumulate a lot of nutrients, which is beneficial for flowering.

3. Fertilizer and water: Water evaporates slowly during the flowering period, so water should be controlled. Before watering, you should check the dryness of the soil in the pot every time, and water only when it is dry. Fertilizer should be applied in diluted solution, otherwise it will be difficult to absorb and will hinder growth.

4. Ventilation: It should be placed in a ventilated and breathable environment, and not in a closed place, otherwise it will be easily infected by pests and diseases, which will cause the flowering period to end prematurely and the growth of the plant will also be affected. In addition, if you find branches that are too dense, you should trim them in time to ensure internal ventilation and light transmission.

2. Flowering time

Its flowering period is from October in autumn to February in spring. The specific amount should be determined based on daily maintenance and variety. According to the time of flowering, it can be divided into three types: early-maturing species, middle-maturing species and late-maturing species, and the flowering time is very different.
