How to water a cactus in the summerToday, the editor will elaborate on how to water a cactus in the summer and the knowledge of green plants and flowers suitable for the growth environment of cacti, and then take everyone to learn together.When raising a cactus in the summer, do not water too much as it can easily cause root rot. It's best to water the edges!It is said that cacti are very sun-resistant plants, but this statement now only applies to cacti raised in rural areas. Many cacti raised by rural grandmothers are old varieties. Cacti placed in the courtyard can fully withstand the intense sun in summer, and there will be no problems with outdoor maintenance. However, the gardening cacti we buy online are very sun-sensitive and may easily burn and melt in the sun.All cacti are the same, but some cacti species have high quality, while others have poor quality. The way of cultivation and maintenance environment is different, and the resistance of cacti is also very different. Cacti in rural areas are usually propagated from offshoots, adapting to the local environment from young to old, with a high survival rate and can easily survive the summer.The cacti we buy now are all mature plants, with an average diameter of over 5 centimeters, and some varieties even reach 10-20 centimeters. These cacti can grow so large because of the greenhouse environment with high temperature and humidity, where they absorb more water and grow larger.The cactus absorbs too much water and nutrients in a short period of time, resulting in poor quality of the ball itself and weak resistance. It cannot withstand direct sunlight in the summer. Therefore, the cacti you buy in the summer not only need to control water, but also need to be shaded. Excessive temperature and a large amount of water can cause the ball itself to rot.Most of the cacti sold in the Chinese market come from Zhangzhou, Fujian. The cacti produced in this area are only suitable for the environment of the southern region. In other words, it is more suitable to maintain them in the south. When they are moved from the south to the north, cacti have serious problems, especially in the summer, and are very prone to death.How to water a cactus in the summerIn many people's minds, cacti are very sun-resistant and light-loving plants, which is indeed true. However, such cacti are not available on the market. It takes at least three to four years to grow a small ball into a large one. Cacti cultivated in greenhouses can grow in just two years, without a dormant period all year round, and grow faster, which leads to weak resistance due to rapid growth.When raising cacti in the summer, it is best to water as little as possible during the maintenance period, keeping the soil dry. The watering time can be controlled at 20 days or once a month. Indoor cacti do not need to be watered, allowing the ball to consume a large amount of water and re-absorb it, which is more conducive to the cactus adapting to the new environment.Summer is the best stage for cacti to adapt to the environment. Most cacti will grow rapidly in the summer. Reducing water absorption at this time allows them to better consume the water in their bodies. After consuming half of the water, the resistance of the cacti can be gradually increased. After two years of maintenance, by the third year, you can safely expose them to the sun.To raise cacti better, at least 1-2 years of adjustment is needed in the early stage to better adapt to the local environment, so they can cope with the intense sun in the summer.The above content on how to water cacti in the summer and the suitable growth environment brought by the Green Plant Enthusiast website is hoped to be helpful to green plant enthusiasts!
