Can an overgrown cactus be cut?

Cactus is a warm and light-loving succulent plant, covered with thorns, but it has a strong ability to counteract radiation, so many families like to keep it indoors and put it in places with electronic products. In doing so, it can also play a good role in counteracting radiation. But some people find that cactus is easy to grow in such an environment. So, what's going on?

In fact, it is good to put the cactus pot in the indoor environment, but we should not ignore the ventilation and light transmittance, especially when the light is insufficient, it is easy to grow too long, or even become uncontrollable. It is a pity to cut it off, but it is more troublesome if it is not cut off, and the potted plant is not beautiful, which affects the viewing. So some potted friends simply cut off the overgrown stems and leaves for cutting propagation, so?

The overgrowth of plants is usually caused by sufficient water and fertilizer but not enough light, as well as for cacti. In particular, cactus, a sunny plant, should ensure that there is plenty of light in the conservation environment, otherwise it will grow badly. As for whether we can cut off the overgrown cactus for cutting propagation, it is usually not recommended.

This is mainly due to the fact that the stems and leaves of the overgrown cactus are usually tender and the development is not mature enough, and the nutrient concentration is not high. If the cuttings are propagated, the survival rate is relatively low. In other words, the cuttage propagation of cactus is not suitable to cut too tender stems and leaves from the mother plant as cuttings, otherwise the survival rate will be greatly reduced.

If you really want to use the long stems and leaves of the cactus as cuttings for cutting propagation, it is recommended to cut off the whole stems and leaves, and then leave the lower part. After all, the lower part is more mature, accumulates more nutrients, and the survival rate of cutting propagation is higher. And too immature upper part of the stem and leaf, even if the cuttings go down, it is often difficult to take root and survive, and everything becomes futile.

In order to avoid the phenomenon of cactus growing, it is first necessary to choose a place where it is easy to harvest light to ensure that there is enough light. At the same time, we usually have to decide whether it is necessary to water and fertilize according to the growth of the plant, and try not to do that if we can not water and fertilize. Although water and fertilizer is not the main reason for overgrowth, it will also play a role in accelerating growth.
