In summer, the Christmas Cactus will enter the dormancy period. During this period, it needs to be pruned to reduce the nutrient consumption. In the dormancy period, the demand for fertilizer and water is relatively small. It needs to reduce the watering and try not to apply fertilizer. In summer, the sun is dazzling and the temperature is high. It should be moved to the half shade in time, and it often sprays water to the leaves to keep the air humidity.

1. Prune during sleep

When it is in summer, it usually goes into the period of dormancy. At this time, it should be pruned in time after flowering and before the high temperature comes. When pruning, every branch of the old pile should be cut off, leaving only 6 to 7 leaves, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients, so as to make it safe in the past summer.

2. Less water and no fertilizer

In summer, it will enter the dormancy period, and the requirements for fertilizer and water are not high. At this time, we need to water it less, about 1 to 2 times a month. But we can often spray water on its leaves to reduce the temperature around the pot and improve the air humidity. When watering, do not water thoroughly, and pour a circle around the pot. In addition, in summer, it can not be fertilized, just keep good ventilation, or it will burn the root, let the root rot.

3. Pay attention to shading and keep a certain humidity.

In summer, the light is very strong, because it is afraid of strong light, so at this time, it should be properly shaded or placed in a semi overcast place, and it must not be exposed to strong light. In addition, because the water evaporates faster in summer, but it can't be watered directly, so we should often spray water on its leaves, the specific times are 2 to 3 times a day, which can prevent the air from being too dry, which is not conducive to its growth, so we must pay attention to the air humidity in summer, so as to make it spend the summer smoothly.
