If there’s a plant that’s typical of the coldest time of the year, it’s definitely the Christmas cactus<\/strong>, or Schulumbergera<\/strong><\/em>. Although it blooms at Christmas time, it is important to take good care of this plant so that it gives us many flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article we suggest the main cures for the Christmas cactus<\/strong>, and explain how to propagate it so that you can get many other plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Christmas cactus<\/strong> is a relatively easy plant to care for. If placed in a bright location, away from direct sunlight that could burn the leaves, and kept at a temperature between 18 and 24 \u00baC, the plant should grow healthy and strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plant should not be moved at all during flowering, as this could cause the buds to drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Propagate a Christmas Cactus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reproducing this plant is as simple as it is practical. During the spring, take the parts of the stem that have two or three sections of leaves and let them dry indoors for 1 to 2 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the extracted pieces in a mixture of seed compost and fine sand. Insert the bottom of the parts about 1 cm deep so they can stand upright. Water well and make sure excess water is depleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the cuttings in a bright location but protected from direct sunlight. Water sparingly and spray water on the leaves periodically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 1 or 2 months the first roots will have formed, you can check this by moving the cuttings slightly. If they have roots, transfer them to individual pots to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Cactus Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the spring and summer, water only when the topsoil is dry and make sure the plant has good drainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Christmas cactus suffers if the soil is too cold and wet. Water sparingly during the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to repot the Christmas cactus every 1-2 years, preferably in spring and immediately after it comes out of its resting period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transplant the Christmas cactus into a larger pot and use a cactus fertilizer to encourage its growth and flowering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
