How to raise cactus and grow well

1. Suitable soil

It is best to choose sandy soil with good drainage and pay attention to nutrition. Specifically, peat soil and fine sand can be evenly mixed, or pine needle soil can be selected to add fine sand.

2. Suitable temperature

Only at the right temperature can it grow well. However, there will be a difference between day and night. It is better to be above twenty degrees during the day and above ten degrees at night.

3. Plenty of light

Light is very important, more important than factors such as temperature. In addition to the particularly strong light in summer, try to make it exposed to more light at other times. If the sunlight is not enough, it can also be supplemented by light.

4. Appropriate amount of water

It doesn't need too much water, but it can't be without it at all. Water only a little at a time, and then wait until the soil is dry. In addition, be careful not to let it get caught by the heavy rain in summer.

5. Adequate fertilizer

When planting and changing pots, it is necessary to add base fertilizer to the soil, such as bean cake, sesame sauce residue, etc., which can effectively make up for the lack of soil nutrients and help plants grow well. In addition to base fertilizer, regular fertilization is needed during the growth period. Fertilizer needs to be irrigated every two weeks or so, using fermented organic liquid fertilizer. The concentration is not too high, about 20%.

6. Control of diseases and insect pests

Under the condition of high temperature and poor ventilation, there will be many diseases and insect pests, which will affect their growth. Carbendazim can be used for diseases and omethoate can be used for insect pests.
