Can Christmas cactus use nutrient soil?

1. Can it be used

Christmas cactus can use nutrient soil. Generally, nutrient soil contains a lot of nutrients and is also breathable and loose, which is very suitable for the growth of the plant. You can go directly to the flower market to buy it, or you can make it yourself at home by mixing peat soil, perlite, and vermiculite. You can also add some pine needle soil. This kind of soil is very good for growing Christmas cactus.

2. What kind of soil is best?

When growing Christmas cactus, it is best to use relatively loose soil, and it should also have good drainage properties. Although it has good growth ability, it is best if the soil selected is suitable for its growth. There are many ways to prepare the soil. You can mix leaf mold and coarse sand with an appropriate amount of base fertilizer, such as bone meal; or you can mix garden soil, humus, mountain mud and coarse sand.

3. Notes

1. In order to create a cleaner growing environment for the plants, the soil must be disinfected before use. Usually, you just need to expose the prepared soil to sunlight, and there is no need to use special disinfection methods.

2. It is best if the soil has certain nutrients. If the soil is too poor, it will not help the growth of Christmas cactus.
