How to raise cactus balls?

The first thing you need is plenty of light. In general, the stronger the thorns, the more light the cactus needs, and such a ball is best kept open all day if possible. Indoor ball must try to choose the sun position, and turn the flowerpot from time to time.

two。 Temperature

The suitable temperature for the growth of cactus is about 20 degrees, and too high temperature will force it to "hibernate". But it can withstand a low temperature of about 0 ℃.

3. Water and fertilizer

Cactus tolerance to drought, the growing season should be properly watered, 10-15 days to apply liquid fertilizer; dormancy period is a little dry, and should stop fertilization.

4. Change the basin

The young plants of cactus should be changed once a year. Growing plants do not need to change pots year after year. However, after a certain period of time, the nutrients in the basin tend to be exhausted, and the root system is full of basin soil, or due to frequent watering, the basin soil becomes hard and hardened, which is not conducive to drainage and air permeability, which is easy to cause root rot. Therefore, the basin is generally changed every 2-3 years. The fast-growing varieties can be larger than the original basin when changing the basin, and it is appropriate that the original basin can be put into the new basin. In the process of cultivation, the basin topsoil should be often loosened to make the soil well ventilated so as to facilitate root growth.

Although the breeding of cactus is not difficult, it is recommended not to buy dyed cactus, falling to the earth and grafted cactus.
