Christmas cacti can be difficult to look after, but once you have some good gardening tips under your belt, then it can be super easy to watch them bloom.
A Christmas cactus, a vibrant and unique plant that blooms in winter, is a popular festive decoration. However, it can be challenging to care for, often leaving people frustrated when trying to make them bloom.
She suggests pruning the plants in spring, not during the festive season, to promote blooming at the right time. "In the spring when the plant is actively growing, you can prune your cactus by cutting between stem segments using clean, sharp shears that do not tear the plant tissue," Dr Thompson wrote.
The specialist also advised keeping the cacti away from drafty areas near open doors and heater vents, which can dry out the soil and plants, making them harder to maintain, reports the Express. The expert warned against frequent repositioning or sudden temperature shifts as these can result in the premature falling of flower buds.
