A cactus that has been cultivated for ten years doesn't bloom; the little flower grower teaches you "4" small tricks, immediately covered with "big flower buds"
The cactus has a round body covered with small thorns. Previously, few people liked to grow it, fearing being pricked. However, a cactus in bloom is very beautiful. Later, when some people saw it bloom, they found it beautiful and started to grow cacti. But why doesn't it bloom even after being brought home and cared for ten or twenty years? How can we make it bloom? In fact, it's simple for a cactus to bloom; you just need to master these 4 small tricks.
1. The cactus reaches the blooming age
One point we must remember when growing a cactus is that there are two types of cacti we grow: one is grown from seeds, and the other is from side buds broken off. Generally, if the cactus is grown from seeds, as long as it is not a strong-thorned variety like the golden barrel cactus, most of them need about 2 years from sowing to blooming. If it is a side bud that has been broken off, as long as it is not too small, it can bloom in the second year after being cared for one year. Therefore, what we need to do is to first grow the cactus large enough to reach the blooming age. If the cactus is small, grow it first and then let it bloom when it's big enough.
2. More sunlight exposure
If a cactus wants to bloom, it must have sufficient sunlight. If you keep it in a dark indoor environment, it won't produce flower buds even after ten or twenty years, let alone blooming. Cacti are not afraid of direct sunlight. All year round, whether in the growing season, blooming season, or dormant season, it must be placed in a well-lit area to ensure continuous blooming.
3. Sufficient fertilization
We all know that cacti are full of flesh and water, and many people don't fertilize them, thinking they are lazy plants and don't need to be fertilized. If you think this way, you are wrong. Because plants need phosphorus to bloom, we need to fertilize properly. At least one application of a high-phosphorus fertilizer per month is essential, such as "Flower More 2." Phosphorus and potassium acid are only rich in phosphorus and potassium. Long-term use will lack other elements, causing僵苗. Therefore, try not to use it multiple times and choose a fertilizer with high phosphorus content and no lack of other elements, which is the key to making it bloom continuously throughout the year.
4. Reasonable watering
The cactus has thick skin and flesh and can survive without watering for a year. This is true, but if you want it to grow and bloom, water is essential. If it lacks water, it will enter a state of growth cessation and dormancy, and its roots may also become dry. It's difficult for it to bloom under these conditions. If you want your cactus to bloom continuously and grow continuously, the soil must be breathable and water-permeable. It should be watered thoroughly when it is dry, which is a necessary condition.
If your cactus is large and still doesn't bloom, make sure these 4 points are done, and it will surely bloom. Remember, the cactus must have breathable soil with at least half of the particles, and the pot should not be too large, just one size larger than the cactus. Don't use a deep pot. Do these, and you will also be a master at growing cacti. Does your cactus bloom? What kind of cactus do you grow? Welcome to the comments section to share and show!
