The cactus, which is a multi-fatal plant that is dry and drought-resistant and adaptable, needs to focus on water, light, soil and fertilization, as follows:
Water
The cactus, originally produced in desert areas, is drought-resistant and has a strong capacity to absorb water, and over-watering or water accumulation can lead to root decay or even death. Therefore, the frequency of moisture and water distribution needs to be strictly controlled to avoid over-humid soil. During the operation, soil surfaces can be observed until they are completely dry before being watered, with one-time flooding to avoid frequent minor watering. The winter cactus enters a hibernation period, and further reduction in the water intake is required to prevent the erosion of root systems due to low temperatures。
Light
The cactus is the most suitable for the sunlight-rich environment and 20-31°c is its optimal growth temperature range. While cactus are resistant to high temperatures, long periods of tan need to be avoided, especially when temperatures exceed 35°c, when strong light leads to slower growth and even leaf burns. It is recommended that they be placed in a well-silent and ventilated location, such as a balcony or window. When winter temperatures are below 5°c, cactus are moved indoors to prevent frost-freezing of strains. If indoor light is insufficient, artificial light sources (e. G. Led plant lamps) can be supplemented to meet their growth needs。
Soil
The cactus is less demanding for the soil, but family cultivation requires a focus on soil permeability, avoiding the use of compacted soil leading to a lack of oxygen or water decay at the root. The use of a combination of acreage is recommended, such as:
Fertilizer
The cactus needs to adjust the frequency and amount of application to the growing season to avoid the effects of obesity, mainly by using potassium nitrogen phosphorus compound fertilizer:
Other matters
Through rational control of moisture, light, soil and fertilization, cactus can grow healthy and bloom year by year. Plantation requires close observation of the state of the plant and timely adjustment of conservation measures。
