Summer is here, and many flower lovers like to keep some potted flowers at home, but because of the high temperatures, some flower lovers say their potted flowers are not growing well. This is especially true for Christmas cactus, which is especially prone to yellowing leaves in summer and will also drop its flowers. Today, the editor will teach you a trick: drip a few drops of this oil onto the Christmas cactus, add some apple peel, and it will bloom nonstop, with no need to fertilize for a whole year.

Take an appropriate amount of rapeseed oil and put it in a clean bottle, then chop the apple peel and put it inside, cover with the lid and place it in the sun to ferment. Once the apple peel has dissolved into the rapeseed oil, it is ready to use. We can dig a small hole at the edge of the pot, drip 3-5 drops in, then cover it with soil. During watering, the nutrients inside will slowly be released for the Christmas cactus to absorb.

You can also dilute it with water at a ratio of 1:10 and water with it, but remember, do not pour it on the flowers or leaves of the Christmas cactus; the oiliness can easily affect the ornamental value of the Christmas cactus. Just pour it directly at the roots. When caring for Christmas cactus in summer, be sure to pay attention: when the sunlight is relatively strong at noon, be sure to provide shade, otherwise it will easily drop its flowers. In addition, we can spray water on the leaf surface to keep moisture sufficient and lower the temperature.
