Stagnation period can be achieved by decreasing irrigation and gradual decrease in temperature.

To reduce the amount of water necessary to start at the beginning of autumn and the end of October completely stop watering. To create the desired climate can be on the windowsill, fenced off from the cactus room with plastic wrap or glass.

The temperature can be adjusted window leaf, opening it for some time to reduce the performance of the thermometer, which is recommended to be installed on the windowsill next to a cactus.

However, do not forget to monitor the temperature. It should not fall to +5 degrees. Such a measure may lead to death. The most optimum temperature for hibernation cactus + 10 degrees.

In the rest period, when growth stops, lays the future growth of buds and summer.

The second method (simple, for lazy)

This method does not require the maintenance of temperature, specific conditions, but does not remove the right care.

To get the desired result and see the apartment blooming miracle, it is necessary to change the rules of care:

· Since the beginning of the winter and up to the middle of March to reduce the number of irrigation and reduce them to the minimum possible.

It is enough to moisten the soil with a little water once a month, but it is necessary to monitor the state of the plant. Too dry soil can lead to the death of a cactus;

· Do not install next to a cactus heaters;

· Place the plant away from the heating system, it is better to put on the screen;

· Delete this period any fertilizing and fertilizers.

Do not be discouraged if not flowered cactus. Perhaps chosen the wrong type of plant. Try again.
