Christmas Cacti are popular succulent plants cherished for their festive blooms that typically appear around the holiday season. With their unique segmented stems and vibrant flowers, they add a delightful touch to any indoor space.
Light Needs: Christmas Cacti thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a window where they can receive filtered sunlight throughout the day. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially during the winter months, but avoid prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, which can cause their leaves to turn yellow.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Christmas Cactus slightly moist but not overly wet. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain away completely. During the blooming season, maintain moderate moisture levels to support flower production.
Humidity Needs: Christmas Cacti prefer moderate humidity levels. They can adapt to typical indoor humidity, but they benefit from occasional misting or placement on a humidity tray during dry winter months or in centrally heated rooms.
