While Christ's thorn is relatively easy to care for, proper attention should be paid to watering this plant. After all, the right amount of water at the right time is crucial for the flowering time of your Christ Thorn.
The thorn of Christ does not need much water
Water your thorn moderately in summer or during the growth phase. In between, always let the substrate dry slightly. In winter, limit the watering even further, because your Christ's thorn needs a so-called dry period in order for it to flower. It does not require high humidity and does not tolerate waterlogging.
The essentials in brief:
- water moderately in summer
- Allow the substrate to dry slightly
- Water very little during the dry period
- Avoid waterlogging all year round
- no high humidity required
- without a dry period, your Christ thorn will not bloom
tips
In autumn or winter, remember to give your Christ's thorn its dry rest, otherwise you may wait in vain for it to flower.
