The culture method of golden cactus

The golden cactus is a relatively common kind of cactus, and some people call it the grass ball, Changsheng ball, and so on. How to raise the golden cactus is the first thing that new friends need to know. Relatively speaking, the maintenance difficulty of the golden amber fairy ball is still very easy, but it often happens in vain.

I. the culture method of the golden amber fairy ball.

Jinhuxi calcareous sandy loam can be mixed with the same amount of coarse sand, loam, rotten leaf soil and a small amount of old wall ash. The basin should be turned over to change the soil and the old roots should be cut off once a year. In the middle of March, take the ball out of the basin and cut off the old root so as not to hurt the main root. After cutting, leave the bad in a ventilated place for 4-5 days to dry the cut; the newly cultivated soil used in turning the basin should use fermented livestock and poultry manure as base fertilizer and mix well with coal ash, plant ash and a small amount of animal bone powder; the basin should be detoxified by means of sunlight, cooking and spraying to prevent rotten balls.

Summer is the peak growing season, and the water demand is increased. If you want to water frequently in case of drought, the best time is in the early morning and evening, do not water too cold in the hot noon, it is easy to cause "cold" and cause disease. During the growing period, the rarefied fertilizer solution containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium was applied twice in half a month and watered cleanly. Organic fertilizer should be fully mature and properly concentrated.

II. Matters needing attention in the culture of the golden amber fairy ball

The golden cactus can be fully watered during the growing period, but it should be dry and wet. Each watering must wait until the basin soil is completely dry before watering. Be careful not to drench the sphere when watering. Proper shade is needed in midsummer, and adequate water and fertilizer should be given during the growing period. The view that cactus plants do not need any water and fertilizer at any time is one-sided and disadvantageous to their growth.

Golden cactus requires looseness, moderate fertility, neutral or slightly acidic pH, rich in organic matter, bagged land sale in the market, and can also be prepared by itself:

3 ① loam, 2 rotten leaf soil or peat soil, 1 sieve bone powder, 4 coarse sand

3 parts of ② coarse sand, 3 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of rotten leaf soil, 1 part of calcareous soil, 1 part of broken brick or tile, with a little superphosphate, charcoal particles or bone powder.

When the diameter of the gold ball reaches 20 centimeters, the basin must be changed and the soil must be changed once a year. If the ball diameter is less than 20 cm, the soil can be changed once every 2-3 years, and the withered and overlong roots can be cut off at the same time. When changing the basin, the diameter of the basin is slightly larger than that of the sphere. The old soil can be replaced best, if the conditions do not permit, the old soil can be turned over, sifted and added with base fertilizer and appropriate amount of calcareous materials to supplement nutrients and improve soil alkalinity.

Third, the problem of cactus culture in Jinyi.

There are white thorns, wild thorns, naked cymbals, angry cymbals and gold amber brocade. The same genus species are big gold, rock, spring thunder and ghost head ball and so on. The golden cactus likes warmth, sun, dryness, cold, dampness and calcareous soil. Cultivation and management should be carried out according to its habits. as the golden cactus likes high temperature and dry environment, the room temperature should be kept above 20 degrees in winter and daytime. The temperature at night is not lower than 10 degrees, and the low temperature is easy to cause root rot. But the temperature is too high. It is also prone to scale insect damage. It is required to have plenty of sun. but can not be exposed to strong light in summer, need to be properly shielded.

The sandy loam with good drainage is selected for cultivation, and the artificial cultivation soil is selected for indoor cultivation. The soil should be fertile, and the nutrient soil should add some calcareous materials in addition to rotten leaf soil and coarse sand. In addition, some rotten manure should be added, and the golden cactus is afraid of stagnant water in the basin soil, so it is usually necessary to maintain the watering principle of "dry and thoroughly" the basin soil. When changing the soil, cut off some of the old roots. Let it dry for 4 or 5 days before planting. The planting should not be too deep, and it is appropriate to level the root neck of the sphere with the soil surface.

The pot plant of the golden tiger cactus can grow into a regular large specimen ball, decorate the hall, and show more resplendence, which is a good product of indoor potted plants. Today, I probably talked about how to raise the Golden Tiger Fairy Ball. I hope it can help you.
