The flowering time of Zygocactus starts from September every year and can last until April of the next year. The growth conditions of Zygocactus in different growth environments are different, and the flowering time is different. The specific flowering time is determined according to the climate and flower growth of the current year.The flowering period of Zygocactus can last for 2-3 months, and the flowering period is also short and long, if we do not pay attention to maintenance, the flowering period may be shortened.
1. Avoid strong light: Zygocactus needs sufficient sunlight before and during flowering, but once flowering, it can not be kept in strong light environment.The crab cactus can be moved to a semi-shade place to be exposed to the irradiation of astigmatism, and at least more than 30% to 50% of the light is shaded.If the light is too strong, it will cause the flowers to be burned, causing the buds to wither ahead of time, greatly shortening the flowering period, so we must pay attention to avoiding strong light.
2. Low temperature treatment: Zygocactus likes a cool growing environment. If the temperature in the growing environment is too high, the flowers will be greatly shortened.You can control the temperature, keep the temperature at about 10-15 degrees, reduce the speed of metabolism, so as to prolong the flowering period.
3. Keep the temperature difference: After the cactus blooms, the temperature difference around the cactus should be kept within 5 degrees.
