Most of the spherical, palm-shaped or mountain-shaped cacti belong to terrestrial species. They originate in tropical, subtropical desert or semi-desert areas, with obvious rain and drought seasons in a year, grow vigorously in the rainy season, blossom and bear fruit, and store water in the tissue; in the dry season, they are in a semi-dormant or dormant state. They like strong light, heat-resistant, drought, barren, tenacious vitality and rough management.

When changing the basin, even if there is no new soil, it is possible to turn the original soil up and down, which will promote the growth of the plant. It is better to change the basin with the Spring and Autumn Festival. The flowerpot should be small, not large, as long as it is slightly larger than the plant. More pebbles can be put at the bottom of the basin to facilitate drainage. The basin soil should use weakly alkaline soil with good drainage and air permeability, and the stickier soil can be mixed with old wall lime, plant ash or briquette ash to make water seepage and show weak alkalinity. Do not plant too deep, as long as you can stand firmly in the basin.

In order to make the terrestrial cactus plant grow fast, it is necessary to create an environment with high temperature and high humidity during its growing period, which is in line with the conditions of the growing environment in the place of origin. It is for this reason that such flowers in greenhouses grow well. Family flower cultivation does not have a greenhouse, can be covered with glass cover or transparent plastic film bag on the flowerpot, placed in the sun, the plant will significantly accelerate growth.
