Cactus is a type of cactus, also known as the evergreen ball, often grows in desert areas, with super adaptability. However, its water requirements vary at different times. It should not be watered after transplantation, it is recommended to spray 2-3 times a day with a spray bottle; no watering in winter; 1 time a week in spring and autumn; 2 times a week in summer.
1. Just Transplanted
Cacti that have just been transplanted are generally not suitable for watering because watering at this time is not conducive to the plant germinating new roots and may even cause the roots to rot suddenly when encountering water. It is recommended to use a spray bottle to spray water, doing so 2-3 times a day. A little water can be poured into the soil after half a month of transplantation. After a month of transplantation, the plant has grown new roots, and the amount of water can be slightly increased.
2. Winter
In winter, the cactus enters a dormant period, stops growing, and watering can be stopped at this stage. No matter how dry the soil is, it will not affect the plant. On the contrary, watering is not good because the plant does not absorb it, which can easily lead to the plant's roots rotting in water.
3. Spring and Autumn
In spring and autumn, the cactus grows more vigorously, and the plant's demand for water is relatively high, requiring watering once a week. If the water is not kept up, the caudex will dry out and lose its vitality.
4. Summer
In summer, the temperature is high, and many people think that the cactus will be short of water, but that's not the case. Although it is hot in summer, the humidity in the air is relatively high. As long as the cactus is placed in a shady place and watered twice a week, it can safely go through the summer.
