What Your Christmas Cactus Actually Needs in January for a Second Round of Blooms

Christmas cactus in early stage of flowering with bright pink buds and flowers.

Once the holiday season is over, it can be tempting to set your Christmas cactus aside – or even think it’s done for the year. But don’t toss it away too soon. With a little care in January, your Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) can bounce back and bloom again.

Once the festive display has faded, your Christmas cactus still needs the right balance of light, water, and temperature to recover and reset for its next flowering cycle. But if you want to enjoy another round of blooms, they need a little thoughtful care long after the holidays are over.
