days to initiate blooming.
September is the time to start adjusting light and temperature to trigger this process.
Light Requirements in September
12–14 hours of darkness: Place your plant in a room where it naturally gets long nights. Alternatively, cover it with a dark cloth or box from evening to morning.
Bright indirect light during the day: Set your cactus near an east- or north-facing window where it gets filtered daylight without direct sun.
Temperature Needs
Cool nights (50–60°F / 10–15°C): Exposure to slightly cooler night temperatures encourages bud
