Is There A Good In The Home Fertilizer For Newly Planted Christmas Cactus??? I Wa Wondering About Coffee Grounds, I Know They Work

Question

great on other flowering plants. I am new to this plant and really would like to make this work.. my grandfather had one that was 5o years old and absolutely gorgeous.

Answer 1

They can help, but they will only contribute small amounts of nitrogen. You will want an orchid fertilizer (which will feed any epiphytic plant such as this one) that is blended for them, specifically, since they can be a bit particular. If you want to provide the bare minimum, then provide a diluted 10-10-10 water soluble fertilizer.
