How to Use Baking Soda Safely on Christmas Cactus
This is a one-time micro-adjustment, not routine care.
What You Need
- 1 liter (4 cups) room-temperature water
- A very small pinch of baking soda (⅛ teaspoon or less)
How to Apply
- Dissolve completely in water
- Water lightly on already moist soil
- Apply once during pre-bud season
- Do not repeat for at least 4–6 weeks
Never pour baking soda directly onto dry soil.
What Results to Expect
When used correctly, this method can help:
- Encourage earlier bud initiation
- Improve bloom consistency and symmetry
- Maintain firm, healthy segments
- Support long-lasting flowers indoors
These results are ideal for indoor gardening, decorative houseplants, and real estate home staging, where appearance matters more than fast growth.
