Grow Christmas cactus this way in autumn, and in winter the branches will be full of blooms

The weather is getting cooler and cooler now. After the Christmas cactus has passed through its summer dormancy, it is time for it to start growing flower buds again!

Whether the Christmas cactus we grow is from cuttings or grafted, and whether it is grown in the south or the north, around October every year, it will start growing flower buds! So from now on, there are two things we need to do:

First,Start giving it sunlight. Put it wherever in your home gets the most sunlight! We must pay attention to this. If you do not give it sunlight, then no matter how much fertilizer we give it, it will not bloom! For many flower lovers' Christmas cacti, the reason they bloom very little is actually largely due to insufficient light!

Second,Start fertilizing it. First bury some compound fertilizer shallowly around the edge of the pot, then give it potassium dihydrogen phosphate twice a month, either by watering the roots or by spraying the leaves!

In addition,Flower lovers often ask me: when the Christmas cactus reaches its flowering season, do you have to put it in a dark room or cover it with a black bag for it to bloom? Let me tell everyone: I have grown Christmas cactus for so many years, and I have never put a bag over it, nor have I ever put it in a dark room, and it still blooms, and every branch blooms, and it can keep blooming from October all the way to April of the following year!

When we grow flowers, we should not make ourselves so tired. As long as you do the above two things, even if you do not put it in a dark room and do not cover it with a bag, it will still bloom!
