The Christmas cactus, also known as the “Christmas tree” or holiday plant for its beautiful flower spikes that have a special color during December 25th to honor our most festive day of year.

However, more and more frustrated owners of this plant are asking questions about its care and blooming time.

Some of the most common questions include:

  • “How come it doesn’t bloom?”
  • Last year, it bloomed, but not this year. Why?”
  • “How frequently should I water?”
  • “It rots from the bottom up.” Why?”

We don’t blame you if you are one of these people. The Christmas cactus is a confusing plant. Botanists don’t always agree on where it originates.

In this article we are going to provide you with the best tips on how to make your Cactus bloom beautifully this season!

How To Get Christmas Cactus To Bloom

The Christmas cactus is a tricky, but rewarding plant. The beautiful flowers are worth the trouble! It has fuchsia-like petals with brilliant cerise pink stamens against an odd green background that looks like it belongs in tropical forests of Brazil or other countries near where this beauty comes from.

The Christmas cactus plant is known for its long-lasting flowers. They only bloom about two months of the year, so they’re at premium during this time period when it’s cold outside and not many other plants are in full bloom. As soon as you see some fading away from their beautiful petals more will open up!

A mature single one can produce hundreds of blooms per bunch on average–it really does seem like something outlandishly special, doesn’t it?

Moisture

The Christmas cactus is a beautiful, delicate plant that requires moisture but not too much. The best way for them to survive in your home environment would be with broken clay pot pieces or horticultural charcoal at the bottom of their pots so they have room to breathe while being drainage- capable as well!

You should never set your plant in a saucer of water. It causes too much damage and can lead to root rot, so let the soil dry out occasionally well down into the pot instead!
