How to plant and manage cacti
An introduction to the planting and management of cacti and a detailed explanation of the key points of cacti cultivation techniques in the field of green plants and flowers. Let's take a look together.
Speaking of cacti, they are quite polarizing in the circle of flower enthusiasts. Those who like them love them very much, thinking they have a very unique appearance and can keep many pots at home, while those who don't like them think they are not very ornamental and are thorny, making them easy to prick. Actually, if cacti are well-cared for, their leaves are fat and textured, making them quite beautiful. Today, Flower Flower is here to show you how to grow cacti to make their leaves plump.
Although it is commonly said that cacti are very easy to grow and belong to the category of "lazy person's flowers," many people's cacti still look withered and lackluster. Today, Flower Flower will tell you what are the main points to pay attention to when growing cacti.
1. Cacti become withered mainly due to lack of light
If most flower enthusiasts want to grow thick cacti, they need to pay attention to many issues. The first thing to pay attention to is the issue of light. Many flower enthusiasts' cacti are not growing well, and the first thing to consider is whether they lack sunlight.
Cacti are a type of plant that loves sunlight, and it is best to keep them in a sunny south-facing balcony or outdoors. The stronger the sunlight, the better the cacti grow. Once they lack sunlight, the leaves of the cacti start to wither, affecting their ornamental value.

2. Cacti may lack spirit due to lack of water
Usually, when we talk about cacti, many flower enthusiasts automatically associate them with drought resistance. Since cacti are originally from desert areas, they indeed have good drought resistance. However, good drought resistance does not mean they don't need water. If you find that the fleshy stems of the cacti have started to wither and shrink, it is likely that they are short of water.
Watering cacti should also be done when the soil is dry. Make sure to water them only when the soil is completely dry, because the roots of cacti are strong, and the surface may be dry, but the bottom may still be moist. Water thoroughly, but do not let water accumulate, as积水 easily leads to root rot in cacti.
3. Use "soybean water" for lack of fertilizer
If you want the leaves of the cacti to grow fat and textured, fertilizer is definitely necessary. If the plants lack fertilizer, their condition usually won't be very good. Spring is a great time for cacti to grow, so we need to seize this opportunity to give cacti more fertilizer.
