how often to water a christmas cactus

Christmas cactus plants require moderate watering, typically once every 1-2 weeks. The soil should be kept moist, but not soggy. Make sure to allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, and avoid overwatering as this can cause root rot. During the summer months, when the plant is actively growing, you may need to water more frequently. In the winter, when growth slows down, you can water less often. It's important to pay attention to the plant's needs and adjust your watering schedule accordingly.
