Description: There are such types of cacti which are afraid of the sun, love water and have no burrs. Such a cactus is called Zygocactus, or Schlumbergera, or Decembrist, or Christmas Cactus. Zygocactus usually blooms in November or December, when the tropical summer starts in its homeland. The flowering ends in the last days of January. It can decorate the interior design with its wonderful blooms, which can be of red, pink, orange or white color. It will add some sophisticated beauty to the interior of the house. This luxurious and Christmassy plant is a great choice for Christmas present.Growing conditions:- lighting: Christmas Cactus prefers a bright place, but without direct sunlight. It will feel even more comfortable in partial shade.- watering: from the beginning of flowering until the end of this period, it is necessary to water Zygocactus copiously, but do not overwater it, because the roots of the plant can start to rot. Reduce watering from spring through summer. From September to November, Zygocactus needs cooler and drier conditions.- fertilizing: feed the plant from March to August with compound mineral fertilizer once in two weeks. When the buds are appeared start feeding the plant again, using the fertilizer for blooming plants.- nuances: Zygocactus is a humid-loving plant. Spray the plant with warm, settled water throughout the year. When the buds appear on the plant, the distance of spraying is increased, so that extra moisture on the buds does not cause rotting. Zygocactus is able to grow normally at temperatures between 64 and 104°F. In summer, the plant grows best at an air temperature between 64 and 72°F, in winter – between 57 and 61°F. Young plants are repotted regularly once a year after the blooming period. Adult plants are repotted less often, once in four-five years in March. Choose a pot that is slightly bigger, as its root system does not grow too fast.To make this gorgeous plant last and fill your life with joy, we encourage you to learn more about it online.
