Zygocactus 'Christmas Cactus'
Zygocactus 'Christmas Cactus'
Holiday Blooms
Brighten spaces and spirits with the beautiful Christmas Cactus, a charming tropical plant that blooms with vibrant colors between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ideal for a seasoned plant enthusiast or a beginner, this easy-care beauty is perfect for adding a touch of natural elegance to any home.
This delightful plant makes a thoughtful gift, symbolizing hope and renewal during the holiday season. Surprise a loved one with this cheerful addition to their space!
Features:
- Light: Thrives in morning sun or very bright, indirect light. Indoors, place it in a sunny spot; outdoors in summer, find a mix of sun and shade to protect it from scorching.
- Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Well-drained soil is essential—opt for a quality cactus mix or create your own blend with two parts potting soil and one part coarse sand.
- Humidity: Loves medium to high humidity levels, reminiscent of its native rainforest habitat.
- Temperature: Prefers daytime temperatures of 65–75°F and cooler nights between 50–55°F to encourage blooming. Protect it from heaters, fireplaces, and other heat sources.
- Fertilizer: Feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. When new growth appears in spring, use a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer every 2–3 weeks for lush foliage and future blooms.
Care Tips for Spectacular Blooms:
The Christmas Cactus rewards your care with stunning flowers in shades of fuchsia, yellow, salmon, pink, white, orange, red, and even combinations of these colors. To ensure blooms by Christmas:
- Rest Period: Begin in early September. Provide at least 14 hours of darkness each night and reduce watering, keeping the soil slightly moist.
- Bud Formation: Once buds appear, they take 10–12 weeks to fully bloom. During this time, keep the plant in bright light and cool temperatures for longer-lasting flowers.
- Post-Bloom Care: After flowering, prune to encourage new growth. Next year's blooms will be even more spectacular with this simple step.
