Cacti are easy to care for and not easy to die, becoming tree-like is even more appealing, give it a try!
As the severe heat of summer has baked many flowers in the house to the point of near death, people are both anxious and miss the cacti, which are known for their heat and drought resistance. In the early years, when transportation was not so convenient, the flowers people could raise were very limited, usually no more than cacti and aloe vera, whose common advantage is that they are easy to care for and not easy to die.
Most importantly, cacti have many varieties, and there are no special points that need everyone's attention during daily maintenance, which is equivalent to the currently very popular lazy person's flowers, saving a lot of trouble for friends who are short of time and energy. However, being easy to care for does not mean being able to care for well. The following are some points to note when cultivating cacti based on the author's experience!
Firstly, there are indeed a lot of cacti varieties available, some of which are naturally short, some can grow into towering trees with proper care, such as the "single-thorn fan," and others are even edible. Therefore, people must make sure of the real background of their own plants before cultivating cacti, or the plants may not develop well.
Secondly, in general, cacti are a typical photophilic plant, and their demand for light during the growing period is not comparable to that of sun-loving flowers like sunflowers. Moreover, the light referred to here is direct light, which means that cacti should be grown in an open-air environment in principle.
Even during the hottest days of summer, there is no need to worry about them being sunburned to death and taking the extra step of pulling up shade nets. Especially if you want your plants to bloom successfully, it's best to expose them to the sun more.
Thirdly, the roots of cacti are very sensitive and afraid of waterlogging. Once there is accumulated water deep in the soil, they are very likely to have root rot problems. In addition, many people may not know that cacti do not like overly fertile soil environments. It is best to use sandy soil with good drainage and moderate fertility for planting.
Influenced by their place of origin, cacti actually prefer to grow in soil with a distinct granular texture, which means that even if people use pure sand when growing them, the plants can grow lushly.
The author believes that due to the cactus's origin in the desert area, its existence is the best embodiment of Darwin's theory of evolution, so people should not refer to the maintenance of ordinary plants when growing them daily. In addition to light and soil being key factors affecting the growth of cacti, they are also particularly afraid of the cold. Only friends in tropical regions don't need to take special frost protection measures, while others should be careful.
