Cultivation Method of Moon World Cactus
A comprehensive analysis of the experience in cultivating the Moon World succulent cactus, the cultivation method of Moon World cactus. The following editor will provide you with detailed answers.
Moon World plants are small, spherical or cylindrical, with tiny wart-like structures spirally arranged. The soft spines are slightly longer near the growing point of the cactus, with dense spines around the growing point. The spines are white, and the plant is almost entirely covered with white soft spines. The mature Moon World appears to have sparse spines, making the cactus color more visible. Moon World blooms from May to July, with small funnel-shaped, pink flowers. It is a self-pollinating variety, and the flowers are not always visible. The fruit is a red, club-shaped, and very showy.
The soil mixture for Moon World is relatively simple, essentially a mix of coal slag and a bit of peat. The soil surface is covered with some granular river sand, and the pot has not been changed for several years. This variety of Moon World can be exposed to sunlight. In the hottest season in the sunroom, the temperature of the pot next to the cactus can exceed 45 degrees Celsius. At this time, it is necessary to shade it, otherwise, it can easily get sunburned.
During the growing period, water Moon World only when the soil is completely dry, and try to give less water to mature plants. Usually, when the soil is very dry, water is given, and it is basically watered thoroughly. Summer is the growing season, and the plant should be well-ventilated and not exposed to rain. The growing period is from March to December, and water is given only when the soil is very dry. It can be exposed to the sun during the growing period (except for a little shading in summer). In the cold winter, when the temperature is below 0 degrees, almost no water is given. At this time, the plant enters a dormant period, and stopping watering can prevent frostbite and root rot caused by low temperatures. In dry soil conditions, Moon World is relatively cold-tolerant. In the sunroom at minus 4 degrees Celsius, Moon World does not show any changes. This temperature is measured inside the sunroom. Usually, a pot of water is placed in the sunroom, and if the water freezes, heating is required. As long as it is not outdoors, Moon World can still tolerate such temperatures. Watering during the growing period is done only when the soil is very dry, and it is not watered from the top to avoid rotting due to poor ventilation. Watering in spring must be gradual, paying attention to changes in the weather. Moon World is relatively easy to manage. Propagation is mainly through side bud cuttings and seeding, with the seedlings growing relatively slowly.
