Christmas Cactus Going Strong Into The New Year

I recently sent the readers of my Nonny’s Blog a photo of my Christmas Cactus. Well, here she is in her abundant glory still blooming!

How do I do it?

1) Keep it in a windowsill where the temperature is about 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

2) Give it plenty of daytime natural sunlight.

3) Give it a substantial watering every two to three days where water flows through the clay pot’s drainage holes into its saucer.

 4) Turn out the lights in the room at night.

 5) Include my special ingredient in the water: a few drops of Violet Plant Food.
