Many gardeners have been using this method for years and praise its effectiveness. Just a few minutes of preparation and regularity are enough for the December tree to quickly sprout buds again.
The Christmas cactus, also known as the Christmas cactus, is a plant with a completely different rhythm than typical cacti. It comes from tropical forests where lives in shade and moisture. In autumn, it enters a natural rest period, during which it forms buds. If conditions are not favorable to him, he will simply stop the process. To stimulate the plant to bloom:
- keep cool — a temperature of 12-15 degrees Celsius acts as a signal for the formation of buds,
- give him longer nights — the plant needs as much as 12-14 hours of darkness a day,
- limit watering — at this time, it is easy to overwater the roots, which inhibits flowering.
As soon as the plant begins to bud, avoid moving the pot. Even a slight change in light can cause them to fall off.
