Proper care of the cactus will allow you to admire the bright buds.

It is not difficult to make a cactus bloom. If this does not happen, then the rules of care during the "rest" period have been violated.

The cactus has one main requirement for wintering - cool air. If the plant is kept at a temperature above +20 °C, it will not bloom.

A warm environment does not stimulate the formation of flower buds. The cactus should be kept in a cool environment in winter. Some species feel great at +5 °C.

Experienced gardeners recommend keeping the cactus during the day at +20 …+25 °C, and at night, for example, placing it on a balcony, where the temperature is +5 …+10 °C. The plant is not watered for a month, and then the soil is abundantly moistened.

However, it is important not to overdo it. Stress is good for a cactus, but it can also kill the succulent.

A gradual change in the usual conditions has a positive effect on the health of the plant. With proper care and maintenance conditions, the cactus will bloom without delay.
