How to grow Christmas cactus in summer

1. Proper shade

The light in summer is too strong and not suitable for the growth of Christmas cactus. Therefore, it should be placed in a place where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight for maintenance. If the sunlight is too strong, you will need to place a layer of shade net above it to provide shade.

2. Lower the temperature

The high temperatures in summer can cause the plant to go dormant. If the temperature is too high, it will cause direct damage to it. So at this time, you should spray it with more water mist to lower the surrounding temperature. This will prevent it from being damaged by heat.

3. Improve ventilation

Summer is the season when diseases are most likely to occur. Therefore, it should be kept in a well-ventilated place. Even if this cannot completely prevent the disease from happening, it can still play a relatively good preventive role.

4. Control water and fertilizer

As mentioned above, it will go dormant in the summer, so you should reduce the frequency of watering it. Water only when the soil is very dry. Fertilization can be suspended directly. Since it's not growing now, it doesn't need nutrients. If you fertilize it at this time, not only will it be unable to absorb it, but the fertilizer will also remain in the soil, affecting its root system.
