Soil Requirements Holiday cactus can be grown in just about any soil medium. In the plants natural habitat, rainfall veries from 17 inches per month from December to March, to 3 inches in a month in the dry season. For this reason they require moisture almost all of the time. It is a good idea to let your plants dry out slightly between watering, so air can penetrate the roots, but never let them dry out completely. Holiday cactus can be lost to underwatering as well as overwatering.
Resume fertilizing after the blooms are over.
Easter cactus can be fed all year except during their blooming period. There are two methods that you can use to induce blooms. The temprature method and the photoperiod method. Keep nighttime tempratures around 55-60 degrees. This should take 3-4 weeks.
