FREE: Easter Cactus-Start (Spring Cactus)

The listing, Easter Cactus-Start (Spring Cactus) has ended.

How much to water your Easter Cactus depends on the time of year; Water well during the growing season March thru September in the Northern Hemishere and sparingly when semi-dormant October thru Febuary. Easter Cactus require good draining pots and prefer to be moist in the growing season but not standing in water or have wet feet. For established Rhipsalidopsis or Easter Cactus plants water when the top 1-1/2" of the soil is dry, 2 or 3 times a week. If the weather is extremely hot (over 80 degrees average) just mist the Easter Cacti plants stems in between waterings. During semi-dormanancy maybe water once a week depending on weather (if rain no water needed) and no misting is required since days are cooler or below 70-80 degrees. Overwatering can cause stems to get rot and encourage bacterial deseases discussed towards the end of this page. Try not to overwater them. Overwatering is the #1 killer of Easter Cactus!

My cactus has been on an east side window sill from spring till now. It has been growing well. This is my first spring cactus, and it has been super easy to keep happy. The blooms were amazing.

I will send the winner a nice rooted piece so you can start your own plant..I actually divided this plant up once before and shared with a friend up North.
