Place it in bright, indirect light, avoiding harsh midday sun that can scorch the stems. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, then let excess water drain away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristmas cactus appreciates moderate humidity and consistent temperatures. To encourage blooming, provide cooler nighttime temperatures and longer periods of darkness in the weeks before the expected bloom season. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot, and repot only when the plant outgrows its container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Proud Tina Christmas Cactus starter plant (Schlumbergera truncata).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739731231030,"sku":"EDNA-032","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8112166414_l88v.jpg?v=1792114726","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/proud-tina-christmas-cactus-starter-plant-schlumbergera-truncata-holiday-cactus","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
