How to plant the Christmas cactus bought online

1. Prepare the soil

Before the Christmas cactus purchased online is delivered, you can prepare a suitable flower pot and soil for it. The pot should be a clay pot with good permeability, and the soil should be flower soil with a high nutrient content and a relatively loose interior. You can use special culture soil, or you can make flower soil yourself using leaf mold and river sand.

2. Plant treatment

After the plant arrives, you need to remove it from the packaging and take it out of the old soil. Then prepare some small scissors and cut off the leaves and roots that are not growing well. Then put it in disinfectant and soak it for about 20 minutes to kill the bacteria it acquired during transportation. After that, take it out and dry it for later use.

3. Planting and maintenance

Take out the prepared flower pots and soil. First put a layer of broken bricks in the pot, and then spread a thin layer of soil on top. Then place the plant in the pot and cover it with the remaining flower soil so that its roots are completely submerged in the soil. Then, place it in a slightly dim light and relatively warm environment and water it regularly. Once it adapts to the new environment, it will start to grow.
