Encouraging blooming in Christmas cacti necessitates a period of dormancy. To achieve this, decrease watering and let the plant rest in a cool (50°F-55°F or 10°C-13°C), dark location for approximately six weeks during the fall season.
Following this dormancy phase, slowly reintroduce light and resume regular watering to kickstart the blooming process. This natural cycle is crucial for the plant’s flowering success.
Pest Control:
Be vigilant for typical houseplant pests like mealybugs and spider mites. Consistently check the plant for indications of infestation, such as webbing or white cotton-like clusters. If you identify any, address the affected areas with insecticidal soap or neem oil to eradicate the pests. This proactive approach helps to maintain the health and vitality of your Christmas cactus.
