Winter cultivation methods and precautions for Christmas cactus

1. Winter breeding method

1. Light: In winter, it needs more light. It is recommended that flower lovers place Christmas cactus on the indoor windowsill so that it can be kept under the sun all day. Also, you should rotate the flowerpot from time to time to allow the plant to receive light from all directions.

2. Temperature: The temperature during winter is very low, so you must adjust the temperature. It should not be lower than 10℃ at the lowest temperature. It should be brought indoors at the beginning of winter, and be careful not to make the room too cold.

3. Water control: When the temperature is low, the evaporation of water will also slow down. The amount and frequency of watering should be less than before, and water should not be allowed to accumulate in the flower pots. Typically, water once a week during the winter.

4. Fertilization: Do not fertilize too frequently in winter. Generally, fertilize once every 7-10 days, mainly using phosphorus fertilizer. You can also use potassium dihydrogen phosphate for spraying to help the growth of flower buds.

2. Precautions

The temperature difference between morning and evening in winter should not be too great. If the temperature in the breeding environment changes too quickly, it will be detrimental to the growth and flowering of the plants. If conditions permit, it is best to adjust the temperature to around 20℃.
