Holiday Cacti Respond To Short Day
Dear I'lant Doctor: I have a
Christinas cactus that I would like
to grow ami bloom. I seem (o have a
habit of doing just the right thing to
kill these particular plants. What do
you recommend for growing the
cactus?
Answer: The Christmas cactus
(Schlumherffera buckleyi) and its
cousin the Thanksgiving cactus
(Schlumhergera truncata), also
known as the crab-claw or crab cac
tus, are both induced to bloom by
short day length. In the nursery
trade 1 have seen both species la
beled as Christmas cactus.
Both species make excellent
house plants. These plants like a
well-drained, highly organic soil
mix. Most commercially-prepared
soil mixes work just fine. Do not
use regular garden soil, as it will not
drain well enough and plants will
tend to rot or grow very slowly. II'
you adil several teaspoons of bone
meal or a teaspoon of superphos
phate (0-20-0) per gallon to the
commercial soil mix prior to plant
ing, vigorous growth and good
bli>om set will be encouraged.
A Christmas cactus should be ex
posed to a lull langc of natural light
intensities from May until Septem
ber. Commercial producers grow
this plant under full sunlight, and
you may want to grow this plant on
a patio or sunny porch during the
summer. Feed with a one-quarter
strength solution of soluble fcrtiliz

cr every lime you water ihe plant or
use a slow release granular fertilizer
(eg. Osmocote or similar product).
The Christinas cactus blooms in
response to decreasing day length,
and I have also noticed that these
plants seem to bloom most profuse
ly when they are pot- bound. In the
coastal Carolinas, Christmas cacti
will normally bloom in late January
or February.
Try the following technique for
getting your plant to bloom near the
Christmas season. The combination
of cool temperatures and decreasing
day length will sometimes acceler
ate bloom set. Leave your plant out
doors until temperatures begin to
routinely dip into the low 40s (frost
will kill the plant, so bring it inside
in case of Irec/ing temperatures).
When temperatures get too cold,
bring it inside and place in a bright
sunny window.
Bloom buds should form soon af
lor the plant is exposed to the
wanner environment. During this
whole process, the plant must not he
exposed to any light other than nat
ural sunlight. Exposure to artificial
light during the evening or night
will delay flower bloom. The cas
cading red blossoms are certainly
worth the trouble.
Dear riant Doctor: Is the tail a
good time lo plant trees and shrubs?
What about transplanting bushes?
Answer: September, October and
November are excellent months to
plant just about any wixxly plants. In
general, I have observed that trees
and shrubs planted in the Inll tend to
have better sur\ ival than those plant
ed in (he spring and summer.
If properly watered, container
ized plants can be planted any time
of the year. Ballcd-and-burlappcd
field grown trees or shrubs are best
planted in the fall, winter or early
spring.
This is a good time to transplant
most woody bushes. Disturb the
root ball as little as possible in the
moving process. The small roots in
a root ball are very fragile. Treat the
root hall as if it were made of thin
glass.
The care a plant gets in the prepa
ration of the soil and following
planting is extremely important in
plant survival.
