Planting & Care

When you receive your Roxanne Christmas Cactus starter plant, carefully remove it from its packaging and place it in a location with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, and reduce watering slightly after blooming to encourage a rest period.

To encourage blooming, provide cooler temperatures (around 50-55°F) and longer darkness periods in the weeks before the holiday season. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. With proper care, your Christmas Cactus will thrive and bloom for many years.
