All year long, people love the Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera), one of the most beloved holiday plants, for its beautiful, colorful flowers that bloom in various colors of pink, scarlet, white, and purple throughout the winter. Right here, you can learn everything you need to know about this colorful plant:
1. First and foremost, care for Christmas cactus: light.
Direct sunlight is not ideal for Christmas trees. indirect light is ideal. If you want to keep the leaves from burning, place them near a north- or east-facing window.
2. Watering Make sure the soil is damp but not soaked. When the top inch of soil seems dry, water deeply; however, to prevent root rot, do not let the soil stay in water.
In order to promote flowering in the autumn, water less often.
3. Climate
The ideal temperature range for this cactus is 60–70°F (15–21°C), and it will bloom more well if left in colder overnight temps (around 50–55°F, or 10–13°C) prior to blooming season.
