Delicate丸 cultivation information
The editor will answer your questions about the delicate plant Delicate丸, providing information on its cultivation. Let's introduce it to everyone next.
Many gardening enthusiasts need information on cultivating Delicate丸, which can be considered a hard currency among cacti, with the ability to retain and appreciate in value. Generally, it takes 5-7 years from sowing to flowering for Delicate丸. Let's look at the details below.
Delicate丸 Pelecyphora aselliformis, also known as Delicate ball, belongs to the Cactaceae family, Axolotl genus, and is an endangered species. Currently, there are only two varieties in the Axolotl genus: Delicate丸 and Silver Peony Pelecyphora strobiliformis.
Distribution: Mountainous areas above 1800 meters in altitude in the northern part of Mexico, with only a small amount of rain in summer and complete drought in winter.
Morphology: A small cylindrical cactus variety with gray-green plants, comb-like spines (also described as wart-like tubercles), appearing gray, with tuberous roots, and a few white hairs growing in front of the areoles on mature plants. The flowering period is in summer, with pink or purple flowers. Insufficient lighting makes flowering difficult, and mature Delicate丸 plants tend to cluster.
Growth: Delicate丸 is relatively easy to cultivate, but it grows slowly, so it can be grafted to increase its growth rate. Delicate丸 prefers well-drained, sunny environments (requires sufficient light, controlling watering to keep the plant compact and not overly stretched), naturally growing under trees, so it fears direct sunlight and is somewhat shade-tolerant. In summer, it needs shade, ventilation, and cooling. In winter, it should be placed indoors, water-controlled, and its cold resistance enhanced. Delicate丸 seedlings grow slowly and are delicate, with the top ball expanding continuously as they grow, often resulting in a club-shaped mature plant.
Propagation: It can be propagated by sowing, with a sowing temperature of over 30 degrees Celsius. It takes 5-7 years from sowing to full growth, requiring very careful watering. It can also be propagated by cutting side buds, ensuring the wound is fully healed before cutting.
