1 Comment To "Care Of Flowering Indoor Cactus"

Typically, if it starts flowering, then it has the perfect amount of moisture to do so. Likely, it never dried out enough to have a true dormancy, but since it is flowering at this point I would keep caring for it as usual.
Make completely certain that this plant's roots dry out completely between waterings during the growing period. During dormancy, the soil should remain dry,until right as the plant starts to wrinkle, since the roots won't be using moisture near as fast.
If the humidity it up in the area, this can also cause early flowering, though it isn't too far off from when it should be showing signs of awakening.
