In autumn, we should apply fertilizer for crabmail scientifically. In autumn, we should apply nitrogen every 7-10 days. When the temperature drops to about 15 ℃, we should apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer instead. It should be properly watered, do not let water in the soil. Give it a softer light and turn the planter every few days. It is also necessary to prune properly and cut off the disorderly branches in time.

I. scientific fertilization

At the beginning of autumn, the Christmas Cactus will recover from its dormancy and start to accelerate its growth. At this time, it needs to apply nitrogen every 7-10 days to promote the growth of its branches and leaves. However, after a period of time, when the temperature drops to about 15 ℃, it will enter the pregnancy stage. At this time, we need to stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and change the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote its flower bud differentiation, so that it can produce more flowers.

2. Water properly.

After autumn, because its growth speed is gradually accelerated, it needs to slightly increase the frequency of watering to ensure sufficient water and help it grow. But we must pay attention to that we can't pour too much water into the flower soil, or it will cause damage to the root system of the plant.

3. Uniform illumination

In autumn, it needs to be given a relatively soft scattering light, so that it cannot be directly exposed to strong light. In addition, every few days, you should turn its flowerpot. In this way, it can receive light more evenly and more comprehensively, avoiding the problem that it blooms more on one side and blooms less on the other.

4. Trim properly

Because it grows faster in this period of time, it is also easy to grow more disorderly. At this time, it needs to be pruned, cut off its more messy branches, in order to maintain the beauty of the plant type.
