4. Duration: The flowers typically last for several weeks, adding a splash of color during the holiday season (late fall to early winter).
5. Care During Blooming: To prolong blooming, place the Christmas cactus in a location with bright, indirect light and maintain even moisture in the soil. Avoid sudden changes in temperature or drafts.
Growth Stages
1. Emerging Buds: Initially, you’ll notice small, rounded buds forming at the ends of the segments. These buds gradually enlarge over time.
2. Bloom Opening: As the buds mature, they begin to open, revealing the vibrant colors of the flowers inside.
3. Full Bloom: The flowers reach their full size and beauty, often covering the plant in a profusion of color.
4. Post-Bloom Care: After flowering, the plant may enter a resting phase. Reduce watering slightly and provide a cool (but not cold) environment to encourage healthy growth.
