The culture method of cactus how to raise healthy cactus

Cactus belongs to a family of Caryophyllum desert plants. In order to adapt to the arid desert climate, cactus leaves have evolved into short thorns. Cactus has been recognized and accepted by more and more people because of its strong character and endurance quality. but cactus is very difficult to feed, what is the method of cactus culture?

How to raise cactus, the method of cactus culture:

Spring, autumn and winter these three seasons, the sun is not strong, the temperature is not high, cactus leaf water evaporation is less, so watering can not be too much. Just the right amount, the temperature will rise in summer, watering will increase a little bit, but not too often, spray some water to the cactus, always keep the place where the cactus is put, the air is moist and not dry. You can spray a small amount of water with a spray can at any time.

Cactus likes to live in soil with adequate nutrition and loose air, usually it is best to cultivate the soil specially, vermiculite: fine sand: humus = 2:2:1, and then stir evenly, the culture soil should be barely clumped by hand, and loose sand is better. This kind of soil is more suitable for cactus growth.

In terms of watering, no matter what season it is watered, it should be thoroughly watered. "if you don't dry, you will not water thoroughly." that is, you don't have to water frequently, but once you water, you have to make every part of the soil wet, and you can't water it only to the middle waist. It will rot easily.

4. Spring, summer and autumn is the cactus growing season. In winter, plants will enter a dormant state and stop growing. It is not appropriate to water too much at this stage, so that the potted soil can be moist. Plants absorb less water in winter, and too much watering is easy to rot their roots. Cactus is more like the light, to take out more sun. Can not be in a hidden place for a long time, but it is not suitable for long-term exposure. The sun shines best in the morning.

In the process of conserving cactus flowers and plants, many people often go into the misunderstanding of cultivation: as long as the plants are exposed to the sun all the year round, given high temperature and drought conditions, and planted with coarse sand, such flowers can be cultivated well. In fact, the cultivation and management of cactus flowers must be maintained according to the origin, morphology and habits of different species and varieties. So, how to protect the cactus in the four seasons?

Let's start with soil: cacti like soil that contains enough nutrients and is loose and transparent. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare special cultivation soil. You can use 4 parts of vermiculite, 4 parts of fine sand, 2 parts of fully mature humus, mix well and set aside. The prepared culture soil should be barely clumped by hand, and it is better to let go.

△ cactus is a drought-tolerant plant in the plant kingdom, but like all plants, it can not do without water. The amount of water should vary from season to season. In spring, master the word "suitable". The outside temperature is not high in spring, so only a small amount of water is needed.

△ summer, master a "wet" word. The summer sun is strong, the temperature is high, if watered too much, it may cause rotten roots, but if lack of water, some plants will appear scorched spots, wrinkling phenomenon, reducing ornamental value. Often spray to the cultivation place, can increase the air humidity, reduce the ambient temperature, but also let the stem absorb water.

△ fall, master the word "many". In autumn, cactus plants have entered a vigorous growth stage. At the same time, some cactus in winter such as crab claw orchid, cactus finger and so on in autumn flower bud differentiation, need adequate water and fertilizer, nature is also crisp autumn, Rain Water is less, should be watered more.

△ winter, master the word "control". In winter, most of the plants go into dormancy, just keep the basin soil moist, at this time, if too much watering may cause stem base rot.

No matter which season, we should grasp the principle of "no dry, no watering, watering thoroughly". At each watering, a small amount of water must flow out of the drainage hole. Never pour "waist water".

Cactus like moist soil, resistant to drought, slightly resistant to water and moisture. Cactus is native to the subtropical steppe. Rain Water is rich and moist, so it is more moisture-resistant than other cactus plants. Spring, summer and autumn are the peak seasons for its growth, so it should be replenished and watered in time to keep the soil moist. So, what should we pay attention to in the process of breeding?

Matters needing attention in cactus culture

(1) if the cactus grafted with a trigonous sword is not properly maintained, the base of the trigonous sword is easy to rot. At this time, you should immediately take off the basin, cut off the rotten part together with a good piece of stem meat, and leave it in the indoor backlight for 4-6 days. After the incision under the three-rowed sword dries up, insert it shallowly in the slightly moist large-grained river sand, and set up Reed straps to support it to prevent lodging. In a hot environment, the medulla in the center of the incision will soon grow new roots, so that the cactus can be saved.

(2) the cactus should change the basin in early spring every other year, stop watering 3 days before changing the basin, cut off some of the old roots when changing the basin, put it back on the basin after 3 days, remove some of the old soil and add new culture soil.

(3) because the spherical stem node of the cactus is covered with small thorns, it is easy to stab people. Therefore, families with children should be careful not to let their children near the cactus to avoid stabbing.

(4) A cactus that blossoms at night, usually about half an hour after nightfall. If you leave the plant in a dark cabinet for an hour or two before dark, the flowers will bloom before nightfall. In summer, in addition to shade, we should also pay attention to good ventilation. Insufficient placement, excessive shade or most of the water in cultivation may lead to non-flowering.

Cactus has a wide variety of species, various forms, colorful stems and leaves and colorful flowers, so it is suitable for potted indoor ornamental flowers. Hope that through this article can better help you cultivate a healthy cactus.
