Commonly Asked Questions

Where is the best place to put a Christmas cactus?

The best place to put a Christmas cactus is in a location with indirect light. A north- or east-facing window is ideal, but ensure it is protected from direct sunlight to avoid scorching the leaves.

How often do you water a Christmas cactus?

Water your Christmas cactus every 1-2 weeks. Allow the potting soil to dry out at least halfway down between waterings. Water more frequently in brighter light and less often in lower light conditions.

How do you take care of a Christmas cactus?

To care for a Christmas cactus, keep it in temperatures between 20-30°C from April to September. Once buds are set, lower night-time temperatures to 13-23°C. Ensure the location is free from drafts and sudden temperature changes.

What makes a Christmas cactus happy?

A Christmas cactus thrives in bright, indirect light and in temperatures between 20-30°F. Water it when the top 2 inches of soil feels dry. During spring, feed it with a balanced houseplant fertiliser once a year, just after flowering.

How long does a Christmas cactus live?

A well-cared-for Christmas cactus can live and bloom for 20 to 30 years. After its blooming years, it may stop flowering but can continue to thrive as a healthy plant.
