There are many small balls that need to be removed, and the small balls will consume a lot of nutrients, resulting in slow growth of the mother ball and reducing ornamentality, and the treatment method is as follows:
Remove the pellets: Break the pellets directly by hand or remove them with a tool, remove them and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound.
Formulation Substrate: Prepare a soft, breathable matrix.
Planting in the soil: Dig a small hole in the soil and put a small ball.
Strengthen management: provide a warm, ventilated environment and timely watering.
First, whether the small balls growing on the cactus balls should be removed
There are a lot of small balls on the cactus ball that need to be removed in time, because the growth rate of the small balls is very fast, and it will consume a lot of nutrients during the growth period, and will compete with the mother ball for nutrients, which will lead to slow growth of the mother ball, and even affect the plant shape, which will reduce ornamentality.
Second, the treatment method of cactus ball balls
Remove the ball: When the small ball that germinates on the cactus ball grows up, it can be removed, it can be directly broken down by hand, and the ball can be cut off with a disinfected knife. Do not throw away the small balls of the cactus balls taken off, put them in a cool, well-ventilated environment to dry, dry its wounds, and breed after drying, and the survival rate is relatively high.
Preparation substrate: Cactus balls have high requirements on the soil, and it is necessary to prepare a suitable substrate. It is necessary to ensure that the soil is soft, breathable and well drained, so that the soil environment can promote vigorous growth in the later stage. Also prepare a suitable size pot, the pot does not need to be too large, not too deep, use a small, shallow pot on the line.
Planting in the soil: The wound of the cactus ball can be planted in the soil after the wound is dried. First, dig a small hole in the surface of the soil, and then place the cactus ball on top of the hole.
Strengthen management: Cactus balls should provide a suitable environment during growth, it is best to control the temperature between 20-30 ° C, and strengthen ventilation in high temperature environments. When the potting soil is found to be dry, it should be watered in time, but the amount of water should be well controlled, the soil is slightly wet, and there must be no water accumulation. Properly managed cactus balls can take root in about half a month, and the root system will be very strong, and the survival rate is extremely high.
