I've been replanting all my Christmas and Easter Cacti in orchid substrate recently, and the difference that makes is amazing. The substrate mimics the way these cacti grow in the wild, up in trees, where they root in the debris collected there ...leaf mold, bark chippings, moss, etc. The plants LOVE having a loose planting medium. The best thing is, with orchid substrate, you can water the plants every day, and as long as they are in pots that drain, the soil will never get compacted or soggy.

I had a terrible battle with fungus gnats. I covered the top soil with pea gravel and began to root water all my plants including the Christmas cactus. I applied the sticky things and used a hygrometer to measure the moisture. It has taken me 5 months to completely win this battle and it was worth the fight. Root watering takes longer but my plants are putting on extra growth faster than before and just look healthier.

@lanawolf5681 Год назад

a tip that has worked for me is to sprinkle mosquito bits on the top of the soil. it keeps the fungus gnats from coming back. So far has worked wonderfully

I’m gonna repot then…your voice is reassuring and I get that we have to pay attention and nurture our plants. I found a repotting tarp on amazon. It keeps the mess away…you could repot on your bed if you wanted to…😆 hydroponics is great for getting more roots..i like that as well for certain Pothos of mine. 🙏🏽🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏽 Mia

What a wonderful message along with the teaching. I'm growing cannabis and I am very slow to take it to the bloom phase only because I've been enjoying the process so much and just letting it all unfold. I began in February and they're just now beginning to bud, the pointers, I couldn't agree more with you about the need to reconnect with nature and to disconnect from chaos. Thank you so much for that reminder peace.

@GardengalAAA 2 года назад

Great video. I have a very beautiful healthy thanksgiving cactus and I have a couple clearance rack rescues that are struggling. Same soil, same overall care. It perplexed me. But I will try some of your methods and hopefully they will recover. It’s all or nothing with these.

Thank you for a very well made, informative video. I became even more intrigued when you said your climate was Ireland, as is mine - then I noticed a local garden centre pot too, profound... I am a beginner gardener/sucullent hoarder, and your video plus your location is very inspiring to me, thanks again

Hi Dan, where are you based? Beginner succulent hoarder. Oooh what a delicious journey you're embarking on 😂

@p0ln 2 года назад

@@BelovedPlant Thanks, it's a bit of a daunting journey when one knows as little as I. approx 2 miles from the garden centre, currently enjoying the beautiful morning sun. Are you reviewing Spring/Easter cactus? I have 2, about 4" tall, currently blooming- , they currently have a couple of pups on each, though you would laugh if you saw them- literally a deset of moisture. will change soil soon...when I learn more! Thanks again!

These plants do like to be planted in soil that has good drainage. Perlite is good but there are alternatives if you do not like it. Coarse sand is helpful but maybe try adding some small pumice small small bark to help it to drain and dry much more quickly. Drainage materials come in different sizes and shapes but you may need to find a speciality store to find what you need. Etsy has a lot of what I tend to buy. We live rural so we have to shop online to find things. If you don’t like using drainage material just watering less is your only alternative. This is a jungle type of plant not a desert cactus but it does need better drainage. Just coarse sand usually is not enough. Your roots are rotting from being too wet for too long.

@latoyaarceneaux6023 4 месяца назад

Thanks for this video. My Easter cactus is in full bloom but the stems are floppy. I have gnat traps So I don’t think that’s the problem yet. But I will repot it since I just got it and the soils is probably not great.

Question, what do you do? I found a large Christmas cactus. I have with a whole bunch of leaves on the ground around it. I’m going to try to rescue them video. A lady said to put them in half an inch of water in a small container and let them soak first which I think is what I’ll do, but I’m wondering what else I could do to rescue them or help them grow

@elian68 2 года назад

Soil is way too dense which makes it much easier to get rot. You need to mix in at least 50% perlite/pumice/orchid bark, that will keep it from staying too wet and rotting. Red thanksgiving cactus (which is what you have) is not at all normal. It is sunburnt, stressed or nutrition deficient if it is that color. The “fixed” plant in October is still not healthy as it has red lines over the vein which is definitely a nutrition issue. Schlumbergera are like orchids- epiphytic tropical plants that live in the understory of the rainforest- dappled sunlight- in the debris that collects in the crooks of trees. You need a loose medium that water drains through quickly.

@gailfriend8164 Год назад

How are you eat How are you waters them,? Aren't you supposed to water them from the bottom??

@probochronicles3991 2 года назад

I have a three year old cactus I'm really proud of, unfortunately it's looking really sick right now. I'm worried I did something wrong or that flies contaminated it. I do have two clippings growing separately that are looking well so I'm hoping the mother plant can be saved....

I saw a video mixing sugar with water and add a few garlic cloves , lets it stand for a few hours and give it to your Christmas cactus. ?? True ?

@BelovedPlant 26 дней назад

Oh, I hadn't heard of this one. I don't know what it does, being honest. If it's only for a few hours, it probably wouldn't kill the plant, at least 🤞🏻

Hi. I was told that if the leaves were red it was getting too much sunlight. Is this not true?

@BelovedPlant 2 года назад

Yes, this is true. They prefer indirect light. Direct sun won't make them droopy though, they will only turn red. Keep them in indirect light and they will slowly go back to being green.

Hello, I only don't because I was never able to find one in my location :( However, community is a wonderful thing and there's a thread in one of my older videos where people are helping each other. Copying the comment for you: "randi ensign • 2 months ago Put it in complete darnkess for about 4 days. I put mine in a cupboard I dont open and it magically gave me new buds it was very cool"

@elian68 2 года назад

All Schlumbergera and Rhipsalidopsis need the regular light changes of the seasons and temp changes to flower. No putting in cupboards or closets.

@rnilson1501 Год назад

How do u get them to turn red

@BelovedPlant Год назад

Hello, they will turn red is exposed to direct sun light. However, leave it in a spot where they won't get more than 2hours of direct sun light a day. These plants really will burn if left expose for many hours in the sun.
