Detailed explanation of the four-season maintenance methods of Christmas cactus

1. Spring and Autumn

The temperature environment in these two seasons is similar, and the maintenance methods are also similar. The growth will be very vigorous in these two seasons, so special attention should be paid to the application of nutrients, and the leaves can also be sprayed with some. Replenish water to ensure the supply of plants. When the temperature is high on sunny days, the interval can be shorter. When it is cloudy and rainy, extend the cycle or simply do not water. In terms of lighting, direct sunlight is acceptable because the intensity is not high.

2. Summer

The temperature is very high during this period, and the requirements for nutrients and water are not very high, and may even need to be controlled. However, you can spray the plants with water mist frequently, and water them in the morning and evening. Because the light outside is very strong, direct contact will burn the leaves, so the plant needs to be shaded by 50% and not exposed to the sun.

3. Winter

Because the temperature drops suddenly in winter, the plant will enter a dormant stage. The frequency of watering should not be too high to prevent root rot. Try to water it at noon on a sunny day when the temperature is higher. Move it to a place with good light for maintenance to raise the temperature. There is no need to worry if it is indoors, but if it is placed outdoors, you can wrap it with film and lift the film to let it breathe when the temperature is high at noon.
