Schlumbergera flower maintenance

Schlumbergera flower maintenance

1. Control the amount of water

Christmas cactus is very sensitive to water during the flowering period. If it is watered too much, the flower buds will easily fall off, and in serious cases, the roots will rot. The correct way to water is to keep the planting soil in a slightly moist state. Just squeeze the soil with your hands so that it does not fall apart. Watering should be moderate, not too much or too little.

2. Stop fertilizing

It is usually necessary to stop fertilizing during the flowering period. If you do not stop fertilizing at this time, bud drop will easily occur. However, it needs proper fertilization during its growth period, and thin fertilizer is best.

3. Increase Lighting

The plant also needs proper light during flowering, so it is best to place it in a location with good light and rotate the flowerpot regularly. Only in this way can the plant bloom more evenly. If the flowering period is a series of rainy days, appropriate lighting measures must be taken.

4. Proper ventilation

It is usually necessary to keep the plant warm during the flowering period, but do not ignore ventilation just for the sake of warmth. If the breeding environment is too stuffy, the flowering quality of the plant will deteriorate and it will also attract diseases and pests. Therefore, open doors and windows more often in sunny weather.
