Placing the pot on a tray of pebbles and water can add more humidity to drier surroundings. Watering should be done frequently and thoroughly, keeping the soil moist but not saturated. Make sure there is adequate drainage provided to prevent the Christmas cactus from rotting.

Apply a mild houseplant fertilizer every other week. Water and fertilize regularly in spring and summer, however, during the winter months, this plant should be kept on the dry side, withholding water for six weeks.

Growing and propagating Christmas cactus can be very rewarding, especially when you give them to others during the holidays.
