When is the best season to plant Christmas cactus?

1. What season to plant?

There are two ways to plant Christmas cactus, one is cutting method and the other is grafting method. The best seasons for planting are spring and autumn, which can be chosen around March to June in spring and September to October in autumn. If it is done within these two time periods, the plants will be more likely to survive after planting. The most important things to avoid are severe winters and hot summers, which are not only not conducive to its rooting, but also prone to various adverse symptoms after rooting, and its growth in the later stages is also very poor.

2. Methods with high planting survival rate

1. Cuttings: If the cutting method is adopted, the main factor affecting the survival rate is the cuttings, that is, the stems cut from the plant. When cutting, be sure to use strong branches and leaves. If the cuttings used are relatively weak, it will be difficult for them to survive.

2. Rootstock: If the grafting method is adopted, the choice of rootstock is also very important. It is necessary to choose plants with good growth conditions and relatively upright trunks as much as possible.

3. Maintenance: Maintenance after planting is also very important. No matter which method is used, do not expose the plant to strong direct sunlight immediately. Exposure to the sun will greatly reduce the survival rate.
