I live in Phoenix AZ and have a Xmas Cactus. I have read up on it but really doesn’t pertain to the hot heat here. Ca

We have 110degrees temperature in summer. I am wondering how to take of my Xmas cactus. Watering
and fertilizing?

Most people grow holiday cacti as houseplants because they do not tolerate weather extremes. The ideal temperature is between 60-70 F. They are not true cacti; their native home is in the mountain forests of Brazil. Here is general information on care of Christmas Cactus, Schlumbergera. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/cacti-succulents/christmas-cactus/advice-for-christmas-cactus-care.htm ^[1]
