Soil
Soil is not much a driving factor for the Christmas cactus—a general purpose potting mix will work just fine, but it's pretty adaptable to most soil conditions. It does prefer a pH level between 5.5 and 6.2 to achieve optimal growth.
Temperature
It prefers balmy temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. However, once the buds are set, it requires low nighttime temperatures (between 55 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit) and at least 13 hours of darkness to actually flower.
