Christmas Cactus Care Instructions

PLACEMENT:

Your plant will grow and bloom best indoors, with bright but filtered light and high humidity. Avoid dry, drafty locations.

WATER:

Keep soil moist but not soggy for most of the year. Immediately after it has finished blooming, however, allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

CARE:

Apply a balanced (20-20-20) liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the summer growing season. To promote bud formation prior to next Christmas, place your plant outdoors during cool, frost-free days in September and October, or in a cool and completely dark room for 12 hours a day for 4 weeks.
