Cactus is definitely known to everyone. It is preferred by many people due to easy feeding and different sizes. But do you really know how to grow cacti? Next, let's discuss the precautions for growing cacti.
How to grow cacti? Regarding watering, it should be noted that cacti are relatively dry plants. It is often found in tropical, subtropical and desert regions. In summer, you can water once in the morning and once in the evening. Due to the hot weather, if you do not water it, the cacti will shrivel due to lack of excess water. In winter, water once every 1-2 weeks. Remember that the lower the temperature, the drier the potting soil needs to be.
In terms of light, the cactus is a baby that loves the sun. Only in sufficient sunlight can it bloom its own brilliance. Therefore, in daily life, the cactus should be placed in a place where the sun can shine directly and provide enough light. Then its lifespan will increase a lot. In winter, you can put the cactus directly outside, such as on the balcony, outside the window, etc., without worrying about "catching the cold". But if it is a cactus seedling, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight in the initial stage.
1. Cactus should be repotted once a year, as soil nutrients and impurities will be depleted, just as human living environment requires regular house cleaning. If the pot is not changed throughout the year, the root system of the cactus will rot and the color of the cactus will start to fade.
2. Be sure to pay attention to the amount of water and light. Now that you've chosen to maintain a tree, you'll be responsible for growing it until it dies. Therefore, in terms of environment, let the cactus feel dry and do not place it in a place where moist air does not circulate. At the same time, don't forget to take it out to receive moisture from the sun. Water and light are two steps well done, and the cactus will not grow unhealthy.
3. Most people use tap water to water cacti, but there are more efficient sources of water. Those who have a fish tank at home can use the water from the fish tank to moisten the cactus. If the cactus is kept outside and watered in the rain, no need to worry, the cactus will absorb it well, because it is a "gift" from heaven.
Actually, maintaining plants like cacti is not that difficult. As long as you understand their habits a little, you can treat them in the right way. They will grow up healthy, and the maintenance owner will be happy!
