Inconsistent Watering - Overwatering or underwatering can stress the plant; maintain consistent moisture.
Improper Light - Insufficient or too much light can affect blooming; provide bright, indirect light.
Not Enough Humidity - Dry air can stress the plant; increase humidity if the air in your home is too dry.
Temperature Fluctuations - Extreme temperatures or sudden changes can hinder blooming; keep the plant in a stable.
Improper Pot Size - A pot that's too large or too small can affect blooming; choose an appropriately sized pot.
Lack of Rest Period - Christmas cacti need a rest period to bloom; reduce watering and temperature for a few weeks before expected bloom time.
Fertilizer Overuse - Excessive fertilization can lead to poor blooming; use a balanced fertilizer sparingly.
Wrong Soil Type - Poorly draining soil can cause root issues; use a well-draining cactus mix.
