Take It Outside. In springtime, you can take your Christmas cactus outside in its pot as long as day and nighttime temperatures stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. But unlike desert cactuses, the Christmas cactus wonât tolerate the intense full summer sun. Full direct sun will give the plant severe sunburn.he Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera bridgesii) is a native of Brazil but is grown widely as a winter-flowering houseplant. In nature, it grows as an epiphyte in shady tropical rain forests.
Plan a general watering schedule for your cactus. If you have a cactus growing outside, you might need to water the plant every few days. If the plant is inside, you might only need to water it once a month. The difference is that plants in pots retain moisture in the soil surrounding the root system of the cactus.
