Many flower lovers like to raise a pot of cactus at home, the main reason is that it is really good maintenance, but seeing that some people have actually raised it to blossom, they can't help but sigh at their own home. So today, Huahua will teach everyone a few ways to make the cactus bloom smoothly!
Speaking of cactus, everyone will think of its full body of thorns, making people afraid to approach it, but in fact, its "heart" is very soft. It is said that God saw it as too soft and vulnerable, so he added a layer of thorns to it, like a protective layer. So, raise it "happy" and we can see it blossom!
Because the cactus is a succulent plant, it still has a lot of water in its body, so we must pay attention to, pay attention, and pay attention to it! It is more like a dry environment, so we should prefer less than more, do not water in winter, because the original water evaporation is slow, and then water it, it will only cause water rot!
So first of all, the soil we have to choose a particularly good air permeability, and then when changing the pot, you can put a small tile at the bottom of the water hole, which will be more conducive to drainage, but do not cover too tightly, otherwise the water can not even be discharged!
There is also the temperature, winter must be placed in the warm indoor maintenance, try not to be less than 10 degrees, cacti are extremely intolerant to low temperatures. But in the summer, we must also avoid the exposure of the sun, the sun is too strong, but it will burn the leaves.
There are also some cactus varieties that do not flower, but we can graft the crab claw orchid, so that it is not a cactus flower!
We first have to choose a robust leaf as a rootstock, so that the survival rate can be greatly improved, and then use a sterilized blade to cut off the top of the cactus, and then make a small cut, and insert the prepared crab claw orchid leaf into it, which can be fixed with a toothpick.
Then place it in a cool and ventilated place, waiting for the wound to heal, during which there is no need to water, let alone let the wound come into contact with water, otherwise it will lead to infection and decay, about a month or so, the wound will grow well, and then you can water and normal maintenance.
During the growth period, the fertilizer water must be in place so that it can flower, and it must be watered after the potting soil is dry, so it is enough to water once a week.
