Christmas Cactus Care
/
If you have ever purchased a succulent at our shop, then you know how obsessed we are with proper plant care. Here's some quick tips about Christmas Cacti care we learned from our wonderful grower, Sara.
- To extend the life of your bloom, keep your cactus in a cool room, maybe even next to a window
- Water once a month during the winter (when the weather is regularly reaching below 40 degrees) and twice a month all other times of the year
- They are happy in morning sun and shade
- If you want your cactus to bloom, you need to cut water back starting in August, don't water again until late October or November
The difference between minimal and unfinished decorating
I've been lying in bed thinking about this quite a lot over the past year. My life ritual is to swing from one extreme to another, then gently wander my way into middle ground. I did this with boyfriends. I did this with work. I'm doing this with my bedroom decorating, duh. So my once packed bedroom became quite a blank canvas this past year. And it's from this place, I have been contemplating the difference between minimal design and something not quite finished.
