how often should christmas cactus be watered

Christmas cactus, also known as Schlumbergera or Zygocactus, is a popular holiday plant known for its colorful blooms and festive appearance. Watering requirements for Christmas cactus can vary depending on the season, climate, and type of soil used. In general, Christmas cactus should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. This usually equates to watering every 7-10 days during the winter months, and every 5-7 days during the summer months. However, this can vary depending on the climate, as Christmas cactus prefers slightly drier conditions in hot weather.
