Steps to Revive Your Christmas Cactus:
- Nutrient Boost:
Mix 1 liter of water with a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate). Magnesium promotes healthy growth and stimulates flower buds. - Apply the Solution:
Use the mixture to water your Christmas cactus once every two weeks during its pre-bloom phase (late fall to early winter). - Optimal Placement:
Place the cactus in a spot with bright, indirect light and a stable temperature between 60-70°F. Avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes. - Regulate Watering:
Keep the soil slightly moist, but ensure proper drainage. Overwatering can harm the roots and delay blooming. - Encourage Bud Formation:
Provide 12-14 hours of darkness at night for 4-6 weeks to trigger bud development.
With this simple remedy and proper care, your Christmas cactus will reward you with vibrant blooms just in time for the holidays!
