Cacti raised at home, if you meet these conditions, can also produce beautiful flowers
Usually, the cactus raised at home rarely sees it blossom, and some friends who have raised cacti for many years do not bloom. In fact, cacti, like other flowering plants, as long as the conditions are met, they can also flower normally, so what conditions need to be met to make the cactus flower?
First of all, we need to understand the growth habits of cacti, cacti are sun-loving plants, the maintenance environment needs to be warm and dry, the plant is afraid of waterlogging, drought-tolerant, suitable for growing in neutral or slightly alkaline soils. When maintaining a family pot, it should be properly maintained and managed according to its growth habits, so that the plant can grow vigorously and flower.
1. Temperature requirements
Cactus likes warmth, not tolerant of cold, winter to put it in the sun where there is maintenance, and the ambient temperature is controlled between 5 ° C ~ 10 ° C, the temperature is too low easy to frostbite leaves, too high temperature and affect the dormancy of the plant.
In the growing period, the temperature should be controlled above 20 ° C, if the temperature is too low, it will affect the growth of the plant, and it will not be able to flower normally.
2, the light should be sufficient
Cactus is a very light-loving plant, whether it is during growth or flowering, it must be given sufficient light time. If you put it in a cool place for a long time and can't see the sun, the plant will grow in vain, sprouting many slender shoots from the leaves, consuming more nutrients, resulting in the plant not being able to flower normally.
3, avoid watering too diligently
As we all know, cactus is a very drought-tolerant plant, but not tolerant of waterlogging, if you usually water it too diligently too much, so that the potting soil is too wet, but also easy to cause rhizome rot.
If you water it too much during the growth period, it will also make the plant grow a large number of new shoots, so that the nutrients are dispersed to each leaf, and the plant will not be able to flower for a long time. So water the cactus, don't be too diligent, and rehydrate it every time you see that the potting soil is completely dry.
4. Supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizer
Cacti usually do not need to apply too much fertilizer, in the pot, you can add a small amount of bottom fertilizer to the pot soil. During the growth period, occasionally pour some thin fertilizer on it, or apply some slow-release fertilizer to it.
In the spring, it can also be promoted by supplementing it with some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as watering it with an aqueous solution of 0.1 potassium dihydrogen phosphate every 10 days to promote the buds of the plant as soon as possible.
5, Work-picking new buds
Some flower lovers raise cacti in order to make it grow more leaves, grow tall and large, in this case, the plant will continue to grow new shoots, of course, will consume a lot of nutrients, so that it will rarely flower. If you want cacti to bloom, you still have to control the growth of new shoots.
In general, under the action of water and fertilizer, new shoots will often germinate from the leaves, and the growth of these new leaves also needs to consume a lot of nutrients. After growing, it should be erased in time to reduce nutrient consumption and promote the budding of the plant.
Let the cactus flower is actually not difficult, as long as it is usually based on its growth habits, do a good job in all aspects of maintenance management, and after the plant grows new shoots, timely erase it, reduce nutrient consumption, promote the plant to germinate flower buds as soon as possible, bloom beautiful flowers.
