Christmas cactus blooms until every pot is bursting, and Brother Wang's trick is to feed it a little thin oil-water
Take Huahua's neighbor across the way, Brother Wang. Before, you really could not tell that he was an expert at growing flowers. When growing flowers, he likes to find some little methods, so his flowers not only grow faster, but also bloom earlier. Just like his Christmas cactus, he grows several pots and truly every pot blooms vigorously. Huahua was super envious watching, and only after asking about the method did it turn out that Brother Wang used the "waste oil" at the bottom of the bucket to make the Christmas cactus grow so well.
In our daily lives, when buying oil for cooking, we generally choose large buckets, because that is more convenient and practical. However, large buckets of oil have one downside: whenever they are almost used up, the oil at the bottom of the bucket is very hard to pour out, yet throwing it away directly feels too wasteful. At this time, we can use it to grow flowers, and the effect can truly exceed your imagination.
We need to first put a few pieces of orange peel into the empty oil bucket, then add water. Add water until the empty oil bucket is eight-tenths full, which can avoid an explosion caused by excessive air pressure inside the bucket. After all this is done, we need to place the oil bucket in a relatively cool place and let it ferment for half a month. After half a month, you will find that the oil and water have slowly merged together, and this oil-water can be used for the Christmas cactus.
When using it, we also need to mix the fermented oil-water with a little clean water, then feed the Christmas cactus a little every half a month. Before long, you will find that the Christmas cactus grows faster, and the branches and leaves are also more glossy. More importantly, this waste oil-water can be continued. As long as you add a little oil and mix in a little water, it can continue to be fermented and used. Isn't that super convenient!
When caring for the Christmas cactus, besides paying attention to these convenient methods and techniques, we also need to put care into the daily care methods. Because the Christmas cactus has just passed through its summer dormancy period, care in autumn should be a bit more careful. In autumn, we need to give the Christmas cactus relatively sufficient scattered light to promote growth and blooming. By winter, it can be moved to a south-facing balcony for care.
Likewise, in autumn, because the weather temperature is gradually getting cooler, at this time we need to adjust the watering amount for the Christmas cactus, and wait until the potting soil is dry before watering, to prevent water accumulation and root rot. Flower lovers who like Christmas cactus can follow the above methods to care for it, and I believe your Christmas cactus will also grow very luxuriantly!
