The False Christmas cactus is developed like a succulent plant. These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The False Christmas cactus Is small in size; in spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a red colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round.
Temperatures False Christmas cactus
We suggest locating this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight during the coolest hours of the day. These plants don't like cold temperatures, therefore in the spring it is best to place them outside only when temperatures are above 15°C.We can grow a large part of the succulent plants in a cold climate; some species can endure temperatures below 5°C, but only if the soil stays completely dry.
Irrigation False Christmas cactus
Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 4-5 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 1-2 glasses of water . These plants are very resistant to droughts; let’s avoid watering excessively; during the winter months we can avoid watering the plants located where there’s a cold climate.
Adversity False Christmas cactus
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.
Substrate False Christmas cactus
Let’s prefer soft and incoherent, with elevated drainage soils.
