The Christ thorn likes to be outside in summer
May my thorn of Christ stand outside?
The Christ thorn comes from Madagascar, so he prefers a warm location and is not frost hardy. Temperatures near freezing are not good for him. As a tropical plant, the Christ's thorn knows no extreme temperature fluctuations but dry or rainy season.
Fresh air does the Christthorn well and helps to keep it healthy and resilient. So you are welcome to put your Christthorn in the garden or on the balcony, but only in summer, when the temperature is constantly above 15 ° C, even during the nights.
Put the easy to clean Christdorn in a warm and sunny place. He comes from Madagascar and tolerates the direct sun. However, he does not like it very much when the air is very humid. Then he is easily infected by mildew. Then treat your Christ thorn immediately so that it does not infect other plants.
When should my thorn of Christ return to the apartment?
Temperatures above 30 ° C do not get well with your Christ's thorn. In case of extreme heat for a long time, consider whether you would rather put your Christ thorn in the apartment. As soon as the nights get cooler again than 15 ° C in the fall, the time has come to change. In case of strong temperature fluctuations the Christ thorn may lose its leaves.
What do I do with my Christmas thorn in the winter?
Winter is the right time for a dry rest. It definitely needs your Christ's thorn for it to flower beautifully. Lower the temperature a little, give the plant a maximum of ten hours of light per day and pour your Christ thorn only a little.
