Cultivation techniques of cactus in greenhouse

   plant enthusiasts who want to grow cacti in a new greenhouse sometimes face the question of which is better to grow cacti in a single flowerpot on a greenhouse bench or to move them to a seedbed. There are different opinions on this point.

When    transplants the cactus into a greenhouse seedbed, people can use decorative stones (such as large lava fragments) to create a cactus landscape. Such a large spherical cactus, cylindrical cactus, or group of cacti can freely stretch their roots, which are often several meters long. They show people a thriving and healthy growth situation that has never been seen before, and the species that grow big enough to blossom also produce beautiful flowers. The amount of water is also less than usual, because the root system of the large cactus extends so much that it is enough to fully water the cactus 3-4 times during the growing period.

   preventing cold from invading the soil base is an important prerequisite for the rapid growth of cactus in greenhouse seedbed. Laying a thick layer of Styrofoam in the depths of the foundation can also play an effective role in thermal protection. This should be taken into account when building greenhouses, at least before planting cacti. Warm-loving cactus, such as decorative gold with colored barbs, large sea urchin cactus. Many columnar cactus or snake whip plants want a warm environment under their feet. If the cold from the outside invades the seedbed, the transplanted cactus will not grow well. In addition, the soil in the greenhouse seedbed must have good air permeability, especially the soil on the surface. It should dry quickly after watering, the phenomenon of blockage should not be allowed, and the water should be able to infiltrate quickly.

   a large cactus nursery bed offers "unlimited" possibility for pests such as root lice or nematodes to spread. Therefore, measures should be taken to prevent the invasion of pests before cutting. The soil in the greenhouse seedbed should not contain pests, and all transplanted cacti must be carefully checked for pests before being cut into the seedbed. Of course, there are diseases and insect pests in individual flowerpots, but such pots can be isolated and disposed of more easily.

   should pay attention to the different growth habits and future shape of the transplanted cactus when planting. Care should be taken not to cut it too closely, otherwise every repair and operation will be very difficult in order to create more space for plants in the dense cactus seedbed or remove dead plants.

   growing cactus in a single flowerpot will make it easier to reassemble plants, replace a larger flowerpot for a fast-growing object and use it to provide more soil roots, eradicate diseases and insect pests, or photograph flowering. People can water each flowerpot individually, but generally speaking, it is watered more frequently. Flowerpots placed side by side do not form a beautiful cactus landscape, and if you do so, large spherical or cylindrical cacti will grow weak and bloom less than usual.

   small and slow-growing cacti should not be cut into seedbeds with large cacti. Small cacti cannot withstand competition from the roots of large cacti because the roots of the former cannot extend deep into the soil. Squeezed out by the majestic cylindrical cactus and the tall spherical cactus, the small and rare species in the cactus seedbed will be stunted and grow well. Many cactus enthusiasts try to solve this problem with a compromise: if the size of the greenhouse allows, they will put a small spherical cactus planted in a flowerpot on a bench at the edge of the greenhouse. Then transplant the large cactus into a seedbed in the middle of the greenhouse.

   of course people can also create a "landscape map" when they cut and cultivate cactus in a single flowerpot. To achieve a more uniform water balance, cacti planted in pottery pots can be implanted into a peat-sand-gravel mixture, as mentioned in the previous chapter. Some plant lovers also put plastic flowerpots or larger single flowerpots in gravel, lava gravel and even slag. People can assemble these flowerpots at will and put decorative stones where there are gaps. However, when a single flowerpot is taken out and photographed, the foundation around it is often loosened and displaced, so it is difficult to put the flowerpot back in its original place.
