How often does a cactus bloom?

1. How often should it be opened?

Cacti are quite common and are suitable for growing at home or in the office. Unlike other flowers, it has a longer flowering period and usually takes three to five years to bloom with proper care.

Its flowers bloom in spring and come in colors including yellow, white, red and pink, with yellow being the most common. In addition, the flowering cycle is also related to the variety, and the one that is easiest to bloom is the crimson-flowered jade. If you take care of a golden barrel cactus, you may not see its flowers even after 20 years.

2. How to care for the flowers after they bloom

It likes light, and when the flowers bloom, it must be provided with sufficient sunlight so that the color will be brighter. Be careful not to overwater it, as it has high drought tolerance. Pay more attention to the amount of water during the flowering period. Slightly dry potting soil can prolong the flowering period. In addition, fertilization should be stopped during this period. Nutrients can be supplemented before flowering to promote flowering, but it should be stopped immediately after flowering, otherwise it will be easily affected.
