How to Grow and Care for Easter cactus

Easter cactus, also known as Spring Cactus, Holiday cactus, Whitsun cactus

Easter cactus is a tropical cactus that thrives with moderate attention, making it a relatively easy plant to care for. It prefers bright indirect light and requires thorough watering but only once the soil has completely dried out. Special care points include avoiding over-watering to prevent root rot, and ensuring high humidity levels around the plant, particularly during flowering season. Regular fertilization is recommended during the active growth phase for optimal health.
