With the holidays still months away, your Christmas cactus may not be top of mind. But August is one of the most important months in its growing cycle. While your plant is focused on producing new stems rather than flower buds, the care you provide now will have a direct impact on how well it blooms later in the year.
Whether your Christmas cactus spends the summer indoors or you've moved it outside to enjoy the warmer weather, now is the perfect time to fine-tune your Christmas cactus care routine. A few small adjustments in August can help your plant stay healthy through late summer and set it up for a spectacular display of blooms when the holiday season arrives.
