"the four seasons are evergreen, but it is difficult for the flowers to bloom. Spread out a hand and the needle is full." Seeing this riddle, I believe many people have guessed who our "protagonist" is today. Yes, there are many kinds of cactus. The common ones in life are segment-shaped, fan-shaped and spherical, which have a strange appearance and grow many small thorns, just like their strong coats to fight against this dry environment. Cactus will also blossom, but it takes a long time, and the color of the flower is mostly yellow. Now potted cactus often appears in the family balcony and office potted plants, regardless of men and women, young and old, like to raise it. Cactus can not only decorate the environment, but also purify the air. Today, let's learn about the function of cactus. Is it difficult to raise?

First, the function of cactus

1. The function of cactus

(1) adsorbing dust: hydroponic cactus is more able to absorb dust in the air than soil culture. Putting it indoors is not only easy to raise, but also can absorb dust invisibly, so it is suitable to be placed in the bedroom.

(2) Night air purifier: the cactus generally breathes at night, when the temperature is relatively low, so it is put in the room to purify the air. The leaves absorb CO2 and exhale O2, which is an ideal indoor potted plant.

(3) High edible and medicinal value: the tender stem of edible cactus is not only sweet and delicious, but also rich in nutrition. Because it is rich in minerals and vitamins, it plays a certain role in reducing blood lipids, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar.

2. Can the cactus protect against radiation?

Many people's first reaction to the cactus is "radiation protection". We can see that many friends in the office always have a cactus or cactus next to their computers. is the cactus really radiation-proof?

The term "radiation protection" is actually a misunderstanding, it does resist strong energy waves, that is, radiation, but it is very different from the concept of radiation, and there is no basis for the claim that cactus can protect against radiation.

However, cactus placed next to the computer is still good, it can purify the air, inhibit the bacteria in the air, it is still good for the human body, and when you are tired, you can also look at green plants to relieve fatigue.

Second, is the cactus difficult to raise?

Cactus can be said to be a relatively easy plant to raise, especially suitable for "lazy people". As long as you have mastered the relevant details, it is not difficult to raise a pot of cactus. The main methods are as follows:

1. Soil

2. Moisture

Cactus is not suitable for watering too much, spring and autumn season usually once a week or so, summer and winter, if the indoor ventilation is not good, it is okay not to water for a long time, so as not to accumulate too much water and rot.

3. Lighting

As a light-loving plant, cactus can not be exposed to strong sunlight, which can damage lateral buds and parietal leaves, so it is necessary to provide proper shade in summer to avoid sunburn and keep light in winter when there is less sunshine.

4. Temperature

Cactus grows better in a warm environment, so it is necessary to take good heat preservation measures in the cold winter, usually put the indoor temperature, try to keep the room temperature above 10 degrees Celsius.

Cactus potted plants do not need too much fertilizer, specifically according to their growth, hydroponic culture can be appropriate to put some nutrient solution, the general florist will sell.

To sum up, cactus has many functions, can purify the air, but also has a certain medicinal value, but there is no relevant scientific basis for radiation protection, but it is indeed a good green plant, easy to raise and take care of.
