Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent scorching. An east or north-facing window is ideal for indoor growing. These Christmas Cactus plants thrive in these conditions, showcasing their beautiful blooms.
Temperature & Humidity: These plants thrive in temperatures between 60-70°F (16-21°C). High humidity is beneficial; consider misting or using a pebble tray. Keep them away from drafts, heating vents, and air conditioners to maintain optimal conditions for your Thanksgiving Cactus.
Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Use room-temperature water and avoid overwatering. Reduce watering slightly after blooming to allow for a short rest period. Proper watering ensures the health and longevity of your Holiday Cactus.
Soil & Potting: Use a well-draining, slightly acidic soil, such as a mix of cactus soil and perlite. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot. Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) once a month from spring to early fall, reducing fertilization in fall and winter. These Schlumbergera Plant are easy to care for and will bring joy for years to come.
