Day temperature of 70 degrees F. and evening temperatures of 60- 65 degrees F. are considered ideal. Avoid overwatering during flowering. Do not fertilize when plants are flowering. Once flowers fall, continue to grow the plant as a houseplant. Fertilize monthly between April and October.
Holiday cacti are short day plants, meaning they bloom when nights are long.
