This plant is called ‘Christmas cactus.’ Here’s how to successfully grow it in a pot at home

Christmas cacti thrive in bright, indirect light. Place your container in a location with bright, filtered sunlight, but avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves. Maintain a temperature between 60°F and 70°F (15°C-21°C). Cooler temperatures, around 50°F (10°C), are beneficial for bud formation.

Proper watering is essential for the health of your Christmas cactus. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of the potting mix feels dry. Ensure that excess water drains out through the drainage holes to prevent root rot. During the blooming period, maintain slightly higher humidity levels by misting the plant or placing a tray of water nearby.

Fertilize your Christmas cactus every two to four weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to prevent overfeeding. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant period (fall and winter) when the plant is not actively growing.
