Choose a container with drainage holes and fill it with a well-draining cactus mix. Place the plant in bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight which can scorch the stems. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, and reduce watering during the winter months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo encourage blooming, provide cooler temperatures (around 50-55°F) and longer periods of darkness in the fall. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. With proper care, your Fairy Tale Christmas Cactus will reward you with stunning flowers year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Fairy Tale Christmas Cactus starter plant (Schlumbergera truncata).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739731296566,"sku":"EDNA-033","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8160067829_i56p.jpg?v=1792114726","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/fairy-tale-christmas-cactus-starter-plant-schlumbergera-truncata-holiday-cactus","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
