Cactus everyone is not unfamiliar, we know that the cactus is only a long leaf, used to graft crab claw orchid, graft cactus balls and other plants to use, in fact, the cactus has a very diligent variety of flowering, and it has a faint fragrance when it blooms, smells very comfortable, it is called staghorn plum, it is called staghorn plum, as long as it masters good skills, it can bloom every year, before there are flower friends who have asked Xiao Qi if he can raise this plant, how to raise it to ensure that it blooms? Today I will give you a brief explanation.
First of all, the staghorn plum it belongs to the small cactus, its leaves are relatively narrow, can grow relatively long, but it will not grow very large, it blooms from the top of the branches of the year to grow buds, you have to understand this one characteristic, but remember, if there are inconvenient elderly and children in the family, try not to raise it, because it is a long thorn variety, its thorn with a small barb, if you accidentally scrape the hand, drag can not be dragged down, when dragging is very painful, Therefore, there are children and old people try not to raise, and if you want to raise them, you must put them in an out of reach place, so as to ensure that you will not be pricked by him.
Its maintenance is relatively simple, because it belongs to the cactus family of plants, so we cultivate in the family first to ensure the permeability of the soil, as far as possible with particles accounted for half of the soil, the common particles in the family are cinder, volcanic rock, iridescent, even if you go to use some broken bricks, particle size in three to six millimeters can be, with half of the particles, the other half you can use saprophyll soil, you can also go to buy ready-made nutrient soil, so with the planting of staghorn plums, and then planted into a pot that is not too big, In this way, it can grow normally, and the root system is relatively developed, and it is not easy to rot the root.
In the whole maintenance process, as long as the temperature is not less than five degrees it can grow normally, if the temperature is lower than zero degrees, there will be frostbite, to ensure that the temperature is above zero degrees, below ten degrees to stop watering, all year round to put in the position of sufficient sunlight, see enough light will not be long, see enough light to ensure the normal differentiation of its flower buds, watering, the usual pot soil dry and timely watering can be.
Fertilizer to choose it right, it is divided into growing season and flowering season, generally from the spring after flowering has been continued to autumn using nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium balance, so that it can make its root system more developed, the leaves grow more fat, longer leaves more, to the autumn when the use of phosphorus-containing fertilizer, choose to flower more than two, phosphorus content is high, other elements are not missing, has been used until the winter temperature is reduced in a dormant state to stop, the frequency of use of fertilizer is guaranteed to give him one or two times a month, do not need too much, In this way, sufficient nutrients and water can be quickly grown, and it can flower quickly during the flowering period.
This is the care method of the staghorn plum, in fact, it is very simple, as long as the soil is well breathable, as long as the pot is not very large, put it under the sun, he can grow normally. A short period of lack of water will not cause any damage to him, as long as the water can be restored, the leaves can fall off with a touch of the hand, after falling, it will be dried for a day or two and put on the soil, and then it will grow roots and become a separate tree. Its price is not very cheap, if you want to raise it, you can buy a few leaves, and if you are properly maintained, you can flower for a year. The flowers it blooms are a pink and white color, the flowers are relatively large, the fragrance is relatively fresh, and people smell very comfortable, you can try it.
