How does the cactus grow fast?

1. Temperature: the cactus likes high temperature and dry environment. In winter, the room temperature should be kept above 20 ℃ during the day and not less than 5 ℃ at night. Too low temperature can easily cause root rot. If the temperature in the north is low in winter, you should stop watering and keep it indoors above 5 ℃.

2. Lighting: cactus requires plenty of sunshine, but it can not be exposed to strong light in summer and needs proper shade. Indoor cultivation, can be illuminated by light to make it grow healthily.

3. Potted soil: potted cactus soil requires drainage, good permeability, calcareous sandy soil (or sandy loam). It can be made of 2 parts of sandy loam, 2 parts of rotten leaf soil, 3 parts of coarse sand, plus 1 part of limestone or old lime wall debris discarded during the demolition of old buildings, or 2 parts of loam and 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.

4. Planting: planting the upper pot had better be carried out in early spring, and the flowerpot should not be too large, so that it can hold the sphere and have a little gap. 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.

5, pot change method: potted cactus flowers, it is appropriate to use a highly permeable tile basin, the bottom of the basin cushion broken brick particles as a drainage layer. The palm root plexus is small, the planting basin should not be too large, and the basin diameter should be similar to the plant diameter, beautiful and harmonious. When changing the basin, cut off some of the old roots. Dry for 5 days and then plant in the pot, the planting should not be too deep, it is appropriate to keep the root neck of the sphere flat with the soil surface. In order to avoid causing rotten roots, the newly planted cactus should not be watered, just spray 2Mel three times a day, water a small amount after half a month, and gradually increase watering after a month when the new roots grow.

6. Watering: it is better to water in the early morning in summer, before sunny afternoon in winter, and in the morning and evening in spring and autumn. In general, do not sprinkle water from the top, or there will be ugly spots on the sphere over a long period of time. In general, watering must be fully watered, so the soil must be often loosened to make the basin soil easily and evenly absorb enough water.

Matters needing attention in cactus culture

1. Potted plants are generally used in family planting of cactus. The cultivated soil is composed of 6 parts of humus soil, 4 parts of sand and 2 parts of rice chaff ash. If a little bone powder is added, it can be planted by mixing evenly.

2. in spring and summer, cactus growth begins, and fertilizer is applied every half a month, preferably with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium mixed fertilizer. In addition, to properly shade, do not expose yourself to the scorching sun.

3. In winter, if the potted cactus is moved indoors, the room temperature above 5 ℃ can survive the winter safely. At this time, the family potted cactus can be put in an indoor glass tank to keep warm for the winter, or double-layer plastic bags can be used to keep warm for the winter. In winter, the cactus is dormant, and the basin soil should be relatively dry, otherwise it is easy to rot the roots.

4. Cactus is not suitable for watering too much water, otherwise the root will rot. It is best to water it once a month in spring and summer, and two to three months in autumn and winter.
