How to grow Christmas cactus quickly

1. Lighting

Some flower lovers may wonder, isn’t this a shade-loving plant? Why do we need to provide sufficient light? Yes, it is indeed a shade-loving flower, but it does prefer light. If it is in an environment with good lighting, it will grow faster than in a dark environment, which is more conducive to achieving our goal. Especially during the growing season, in order to make it grow faster, it should be placed in a place with better light.

2. Moisture

It likes moisture but does not tolerate waterlogging. Overall, appropriateness is best. The most water supply is in the spring growth period, which is also the period when it grows fastest. At this time, sufficient water should be provided to promote its faster and better growth. During the flowering period or the summer dormancy period, you should not give it a lot of water.

3. Fertilizer

Reasonable fertilization methods can promote its rapid growth. Generally speaking, demand is greatest in spring, followed by other times. Generally speaking, you need to use rice washing water once every week and mix some (KH2SO4) solution into it. Alternatively, you can also place superphosphate on the surface of the basin, about three to ten grams, and let it be slowly absorbed as water is poured in. The second is foliar fertilization. For example, you can use urea once every half a month, and the effect is also good.

4. Pruning

If you want it to grow quickly, proper pruning is also necessary. You can cut off branches that are diseased or insect-infested, branches that are too weak, and very thin and weak branches. In this way, unnecessary consumption of nutrients can be avoided, thereby promoting the rapid growth of healthy branches.
