DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
The Easter Cactus prefers bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. It thrives in high humidity and should be kept evenly moist. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. During its dormancy period, reduce watering to allow the plant to rest.Bodem
Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri prefers a well-draining loam soil mix. A mix designed for cacti and succulents with added organic matter works well. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 10-10-10. Fertilize monthly during the growing season and reduce feeding during the dormancy period.Verpotten
Repot the Easter Cactus every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant, shake off excess soil, and place it in fresh soil mix.Voortplanting
Propagate the Easter Cactus through stem cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season, allow them to callous for a few days, and then plant them in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist until roots develop.Snoeien
Prune the Easter Cactus after it has finished blooming. Remove any dead or damaged stems and trim back leggy growth to encourage a fuller shape. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.Toxiciteit
Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri is non-toxic to pets and humans. It is safe to have around cats, dogs, and children.Aanvullend
To encourage blooming, provide a period of cooler temperatures and reduced watering during the plant's dormancy. This mimics its natural environment and helps trigger flower production.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
