Learn how to make a christmas cactus bloom during the holiday season. The most important factors in making it bloom are light and temperature. Stroe at 15 - 16 degrees Celsius until flower buds appear. The cactus requires 14 - 16 hours of darkness and 8 - 9 hours of indirect sunlight at this time.

Do this for at least 4 - 6 weeks, or until the first buds appear. Do this in early September to get cactus bloom for Christmas. This will continue until early November.

Hardly any watering

Watering is essential for Christmas cactus blooming. Allowing the soil to soak in water can cause the roots to rot. Water only when the soil is dry so that it can enter a dormant state, which will encourage the growth of blooming flowers, If it has bloomed, water it frequently to keep it blooming. 

Humidity

Moving a Christmas cactus too frequently to different locations can cause temperature and light conditions to change. This is one of the reasons why the Christmas cactus does not bloom during the holiday season. You can avoid moving to sunny areas, walls, and temperatures outside. Place in a warm, sunny location and water regularly.

Repotting and pruning

Prune for a month or two in the spring. This is the most effective way to grow new leaves and should be  done in the spring to late spring. And the hassle of having to wait three years for it to sprout new shoots. This method also aids the Christmas cactus in adjusting to new conditions prior to flowering.


Fertilizing
