Pottery pot cultivation techniques of cactus

   cultivation container is of great significance to the growth of thousand cactus. Most of the cactus sold in the nursery grow in smaller flowerpots, which not only save space but also protect plants during transportation and sale. The gardener buried these small cactus flowerpots in a large greenhouse seedbed, where the temperature was set to the best. Under these conditions, cacti can also grow in small flowerpots. However, in the hands of ordinary lovers, such flowerpots are not suitable to continue to cultivate cactus, because they can not provide enough and stable living space for cactus for a long time. The small flowerpot heats up sharply in the sun and becomes suddenly cold after the light. In particular, the soil quickly becomes dry, when plants are often in a state of alternation of dry and wet. As a result, plant lovers will soon transplant his new pet from small flowerpots for sale to other containers.

The    single flowerpot has always been the standard container for cutting and cultivating plants, and its obvious and indisputable advantage is that each plant can be easily extracted from the flora with a pair of forceps or tweezers, and then photographed to check its health, and if it suffers from disease or wilts and dies, it can be replaced or removed altogether. Potted plants can also be reclassified at any time, and individual plants cut in pots may grow too fast, squeezing out other smaller plants or depriving them of light. Therefore, the material of the flowerpot is very important. The view held by some people today that flowerpots must be permeable, that is to say, breathable, is absolutely wrong. Common pottery containers are even quite detrimental to the growth of plants because they make the water evaporate quickly. In such a container, the soil is dry and ash-free, and the basin wall heated sharply by the sun causes the roots of the plants adjacent to the basin wall to dry and coke. On the other hand, as long as the soil is still moist, there is a considerable risk of evaporation and cooling. For example, the salt carried by all the evaporated water will be deposited on the basin wall to form a thicker and thicker white scale. In areas where calcium-containing water is used to irrigate plants, a large amount of limestone will be deposited on the walls of pottery basins, which will eventually lead to the alkalization of the soil. Because most cacti do not like alkaline, but prefer slightly acidic soil (pH value 5: 6), plants stop growing in alkaline environments, the roots gradually die, and the plants eventually wither and die.

   recommends that when using pottery pots to cultivate cactus, several pottery pots must be placed in greenhouse beds, shallow pots or planters filled with peat-sand mixed soil. Here, the breathable basin wall of the flowerpot can be used to balance the moisture between the filler and the cactus soil. For those species that are not easy to dry up completely during dormancy, plant roots can be kept moderately humid by adding a little stuffing. It is suggested that peat sand mixed soil should be used as filler. It is difficult for pure peat to absorb water after it dries completely during dormancy.

   can also use pottery pots to cultivate succulent plants in the northern hemisphere and climate with insufficient light. Pottery pots are not easy to dry under the conditions of low sunshine and high air humidity, and the water content there is low, so there is often no calcification.
