Care

WATER

TEMPERATURE

FERTILIZER

Medium filtered light only. East or Northeast-facing directions are ideal.

The soil should stay evenly moist, but never soggy. If too wet, the stems will yellow.

Set temperature around 70 °F during the day and 55-60 °F at night.

Once a month, only during the growing season (spring and summer).

Spring Cactus needs to be protected from direct sunlight. It can tolerate some direct early morning and late afternoon sun, particularly when in flower.

After flowering, Spring Cactus will go through a dormant period. During this stage, the plant can go several weeks without watering.

Spring Cactus flowers will last longer when kept in a cool environment.

Use a 10-10-10 liquid fertilizer.

Story

From the family Cactaceae, flowering cacti are native to the tropical jungles of the Americas, and are sometimes called "Jungle Cacti". There are over three thousand assorted classes of Cacti that are found in the wild and they have been found in wasteland areas and dense forests. The major difference between Christmas Cacti and the spring variety, besides the time of blooming, is that Spring Cacti have radially symmetrical flowers that typically open wider. They are available in yellow, pink, peach, red and white varieties.
