Xiao Hua went to a friend's house to play a few days ago and saw that their cactus had bloomed. As we know, even if a cactus has been planted for many years, it may not necessarily bloom. So what does a blooming cactus look like? What variety is it? Let's learn about it together with Xiao Hua.
The original growth area of the cactus is in the desert, where the climate is relatively dry and lacks water all year round. Since the cactus can survive, it indicates that it has a very strong drought resistance. Everyone should remember that you cannot water it frequently during the planting process, otherwise the roots will rot. If you cut the cactus with a knife, you will find that it contains a lot of juice, which shows that its water absorption ability is strong.
There are many types of cacti. We can distinguish them from their shapes, such as round cacti, which look like a round ball. There are also leaf-shaped cacti, which are more common and are the most primitive form of cacti in our impression. Although there are many shapes, their growth habits are basically the same and can be planted and cared for together.
Firstly, let's talk about the issue of watering, which is also a controversial topic. Some friends think that cacti need to supplement a lot of water because their leaves contain water, and if they are short of water, the skin of the cactus will wrinkle like wrinkles. Some friends say that cacti cannot be watered frequently, otherwise the roots will rot. So in what situation can we water them?

Just remember one principle: when watering, completely moisten the soil, and only supplement water when it is dry. The most beautiful state of a cactus is when the skin of its leaves is relatively intact and the color is dark green, which can only be achieved with proper water supplementation. If you find that water cannot be quickly dissipated after watering, it indicates that the soil's permeability is poor, and the soil should be changed appropriately.
Since we've mentioned soil, next, Xiao Hua wants to seriously talk to everyone about it. There are many types of soil suitable for cactus planting, but I think if you want it to bloom, you must have enough fertility. For example, humus soil is commonly used to plant cacti, but just this one substance is not enough. Add some fine sand to the soil.
Although cacti look tough, their stems are relatively weak. If the soil is hard, the stems cannot extend in the mud. Only sandy soil is beneficial for the growth and protection of the stems. If the planting time reaches more than a year, you need to change the soil and pot. Cacti do not grow very fast, so everyone should be prepared mentally and not in a hurry.
Xiao Hua believes that as long as these few aspects are taken care of, it is easy for cacti to bloom, but the flowering period is relatively short, possibly only one week. The color of the flowers is not single, different varieties can have different colors.
