The hometown of cactus is in South America, which is native to the desert with high heat, dry and little rain, forming the characteristics of being dry and drought-resistant. The cactus is afraid of the cold and likes to be born in sandy soil with good drainage. Summer is not only the growing period of cactus, but also the full bloom.

Cactus round, fat, although the body with thorns, but it does not hinder people's love for it, and the cactus can also blossom! Today, Hua Xiao will tell you how to raise cactus!

one

Basin soil

Potted cactus soil requires drainage, good air permeability, calcareous sandy soil (or sandy loam), which can be mixed with 2 parts of loam, 2 parts of rotten leaf soil, 3 parts of coarse sand, plus 1 part of limestone or old lime wall debris discarded when the old building is demolished; it can also be made of 2 parts of loam, 2 parts of coarse sand, 1 part of broken brick, rotten leaf soil and 1 part of old lime wall debris. During cultivation, a small amount of broken masonry and tiles should be padded at the bottom of the basin to smooth drainage.

Planting

Planting the upper pot had better be carried out in early spring, the flowerpot should not be too large, in order to accommodate the sphere and a little gap is appropriate. The flowerpot is too large to be absorbed after pouring enough water, and the air in the pot is impassable, which is easy to make the root rot. A few taproot species and bird feather jade, giant elephant balls, etc., require a deeper tube basin. Silver hair ball, offspring ball and other species with shallow roots can be used in shallow ordinary flowerpots.

three

Watering

Summer is the cactus growth period, with high temperature and large water demand. Must be fully watered, should be carried out in the morning and evening when the temperature is low, hot at noon, watering is easy to cause ball burns. In the hot and rainy season, watering should also be controlled properly. For those cactus with sunken tops, be careful not to pour water into the depressions so as not to cause decay, especially in the evening.

Winter dormancy should be controlled watering, in order to keep the basin soil not too dry, the lower the temperature, the more to keep the basin soil dry. Adult big balls are more resistant to drought than seedlings. Watering in winter should be carried out on a sunny morning. With the increase of air temperature, the plant will gradually break away from dormancy, and the watering times and amount of water will gradually increase.

four

Fertilizer application

Potted cactus can also be fertilized properly during the growing season, especially those grafted with trigonous arrows, more attention should be paid to fertilization. Fertilizer can be used with fully mature dilute liquid fertilizer, once every 10 rain for 15 days. After entering the autumn, pay attention to the control of fertilizer and water, generally apply once a month, and stop fertilizing in early October. If you don't control the fertilizer. Let the cactus continue to grow, and the tender sphere is vulnerable to freezing when it overwinters. Fertilizer should be careful not to touch the ball, if there should be extreme spray washing with water.

five

Pest control

In the environment of high temperature and poor ventilation, diseases and insect pests are easy to occur. Diseases can be sprayed with carbendazim or topiramate, and pests can be killed by spraying dimethoate. No matter what kind of liquid is sprayed, it should be carried out outdoors.

How to plant cactus in the water?

1. Choose a strong cactus, at least bigger than your fist.

two。 Cut off the original root under the fairy sphere, use scissors or slice knives, and choose something sharper. Then rinse the soil attached to the rhizome with clean water and dry it in a dry place for 3 days to make the incision completely dry. For the cactus to induce roots, it is necessary to remove the small roots that originally grew.

3. Find a container for holding water, prop up the cactus with a supporting plate, let the lower part of the cactus come into contact with the surface of the water a little bit, and the root will grow slowly after a period of time. Don't sprinkle water on the sphere before it grows roots, just keep the soil moist.

4. Just after planting to avoid direct sunlight: too high temperature will consume too much water, and at this time, the cactus has not yet grown roots, can only dry up their own water, so the newly planted cactus will become soft and wilting if it is not well protected. Thorns may also fall off.

Everything is wonderful, there is a praise mall in the flower school.
