Frequently Asked Questions about Easter Cactus
1. How often should I water my Easter Cactus?
During the growing season (spring and summer), water your Easter Cactus when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering in the fall and winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
2. What kind of light does an Easter Cactus need?
Easter Cacti thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. A north- or east-facing window is ideal.
3. How big will my Easter Cactus get?
Our Easter Cactus plants are shipped as 4-6 inch starter plants. With proper care, they can grow to be 1-2 feet tall and wide over several years.
4. Why isn’t my Easter Cactus flowering?
Lack of blooming can be caused by insufficient light, improper watering, or lack of a cool rest period in the winter. Ensure your plant receives bright, indirect light, reduce watering in the fall and winter, and provide a period of cooler temperatures (around 55-60°F) for several weeks in the late fall/early winter.
5. Is the Easter Cactus safe for pets?
The Easter Cactus is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, but it’s always best to keep plants out of reach of pets to prevent them from chewing on them and potentially experiencing digestive upset.
