- Where to place it?
The ideal temperature for indoor Christmas cactus is 20°C. To prolong the flowering of the cactus in the winter period, it is necessary to place it in a bright room. Later in the summer, the Christmas cactus can be placed outdoors in a partially shaded location so that excessive exposure to direct sunlight does not cause leaf scorch. In autumn, from the beginning of September, the plant can be moved indoors. The reduction of daylight hours and its exposure to the sun means that its flowering may be delayed until the Christmas period.
One of the perfect places to keep Christmas cactus in your home during December and January is on the inside windowsill, so the flowers can take advantage of the daylight to bloom during the winter.

The elevated position of the plant is essential if you have pets such as dogs or cats. Ingestion of some parts of the plant can cause diarrhea or vomiting in pets. It must therefore be positioned in such a way that animals cannot easily reach it. If you have any problems, consult your vet immediately.
