【Preface】
Cactus, a desert plant, is drought tolerant and easy to feed. It can be said that there is basically no need to worry about it, and there is no need for special diligent management on a daily basis. Cacti have strong growth ability, drought tolerance and strong reproductive ability. So how exactly do you cultivate cacti? Combined with my own farming experience, I will briefly talk about this problem.
Cactus is a desert plant, suitable for growing desert areas, has the characteristics of desert plants, specifically the following points, I will briefly summarize the cactus into "six preferences".
First, like the light, do not like the shade.
The healthy growth of cacti is inseparable from the sunshine. If the light is insufficient, mostly in a cool place, the growth will slow down, and the growth will be very weak. This is mainly due to the lack of light.
【Suggestions and Measures】
。 Ensure that it can receive sunlight every day, ensure the light rate, and promote the healthy growth of cacti and early flowering.
。 Of course, it is best to have no shelter to ensure that a large amount of full-day sunlight is received and healthy growth is promoted.
Second, like warmth, do not like cold.
It prefers plenty of light, which naturally means it prefers a warm and pleasant climate. Because it grows in the desert area, the climate is hot, but it is suitable for growth. If you can guarantee 20 ~ 30 ° C, it is very easy to grow, simple and convenient to raise. However, below 0 °C, it will make it difficult to survive. Usually above 3 ° C, basically safe to survive the winter.
1. In spring and autumn, whether it is indoor breeding or outdoor breeding, the temperature is very suitable, suitable for the healthy growth of cacti. At this time, you can ignore the temperature problem and do a good job in other aspects of maintenance. But in other seasons, we have to pay attention.
2, summer, high temperature and heat, cactus is still the overall heat and drought tolerance. Even the midday sun exposure can withstand it. However, pay attention to maintaining a certain amount of water to prevent excessive drought and affect normal growth.
3, winter, severe cold and cold. Not suitable for healthy growth of cacti. Usually, cacti grow at temperatures above 3°C, which is basically safe for winter; however, if it is below 0°C, it will cause irreparable losses.
Third, drought tolerant, do not like water.
This is clear to everyone and is very important. Especially friends who have farmed cacti rarely water it. Otherwise, too much watering is easy to cause abnormal growth. Therefore, in line with the principle of preferring dryness to wetness, it is enough to maintain and manage.
【Measures and Suggestions】
1, to strictly grasp the principle of watering.
Cacti live in desert areas and prefer arid environments. Even if it is dry, it does not affect the return to normal growth. But if it is too wet, or even if the water is serious, it will fester and die. In this way, it is difficult to treat.
As we have already explained about receiving sunlight, increasing the light can also cause arid environments. In addition, controlled watering can also prevent water accumulation and keep the potting soil dry.
Fourth, afraid of standing water, not resistant to moisture.
It is a desert plant, just explained, very drought-tolerant, naturally do not like too much moisture. If the water is large, it causes water to accumulate, which is very easy to cause root ulceration, which eventually leads to the wilting and death of the cactus. Therefore, controlled watering is a key environment for the cultivation of cacti.
1, the principle of watering: rather dry than wet, dry thoroughly and then water.
If the soil of the cactus is still a little moist, then don't water, be sure to extend the watering time, and wait until the pot soil is dry, and it is not too late for you to water.
2. Replenish water according to the situation and extend the watering time as much as possible.
。 On the basis of finding the soil dry, do not worry about the lack of cacti, appropriately extend the watering time, beneficial and harmless. I usually water once a month, try to extend the time as much as possible, and when watering, it is enough to water it all at once.
Fifth, easy to insert, strong fecundity.
Cactus has tenacious vitality, prefers warm and dry environments, is very resistant to drought and water shortage, and has tenacious vitality. In addition, cacti grow vigorously and can also multiply in large quantities, and one leaf grows multiple leaves, constantly multiplying and growing.
【Suggestions and measures】
If you want to farm more cacti, it's simple! Get ready to breed!
。 I usually use loose and breathable soil for cutting, mostly sandy soil, accounting for a slightly larger proportion.
After properly drying the wound, insert it into the prepared soil, keep the potting soil dry and wet, and promote early germination.
Sixth, I like fertility, but I don't like barrenness.
Cacti are not very strict about the soil. Such soil can not only ensure nutrients, but also achieve loose and breathable, suitable for the normal growth of cacti.
。 Usually the humus soil, pastoral soil and sand soil mixed modulation, in order to increase the air permeability, appropriately increase the sand content, can be in accordance with the ratio of 1: 1: 2 modulation, increase loose air permeability.
Sandy soil is relatively poor in fertility, in the breeding process, appropriate supplementation of fertility, especially phosphate fertilizer, to promote the healthy growth of cacti, to achieve early flowering.
Special reminder!
<h1>Cactus balls must be placed in places that are difficult to touch, especially in the family breeding pets, or families with children, pay more attention to prevent the thorns of the cactus balls from pricking the body and causing unnecessary damage. </h1>
