A blooming cactus is the joy and pride of many flower growers, because it is a rather rare phenomenon.

Most indoor cacti never bloom. But the problem is not with the plants. It is believed that the fault lies with the flower growers themselves.

Experts point out that the flower growers themselves are to blame, as they create too comfortable conditions for their “green pets”.

In order for the plant to form a bud, it is necessary to create a natural habitat for it. First of all, the cactus should be bathed in warmth during the day and kept cool at night.

In winter, the plant is preparing to bloom, so it should not be touched at this time. Most often, cacti produce buds in the spring.
