Christmas Cactus at Christmas Time

My Christmas Cactus is still blooming as its Christmas time. With the snow falling outside and we expect 10 to 20 inches in the next few days. My Christmas Cactus will add color to my home. With its beautiful blooms and buds still showing its beauty. I will move it away from the window just a bit. This way I am sure the Christmas Cactus will not get any cold drafts for the harsh weather we are having.

I will soon let my Christmas Cactus rest after its finished blooming by placing it in a darker area and cutting back on the water I give it for a few weeks. Once the Christmas Cactus looks up from its nap I will begin watering it again and add plant food. At that same time I will check my pot I have it in and make sure the pot is not to small or cracked. Then I will add a little fresh dirt to the pot and watch signs of new life. With in just a few weeks you will see small leaves begin to pop out. I will return it to the table where it gets more light from my window.

I hope your Christmas Cactus is giving you great pleasure as it blooms for you this holiday season.
