What is the best temperature for cacti to develop roots?
For the netizens who are concerned, I will explain in detail the best temperature for cacti to develop roots and some knowledge about the best rooting techniques for cacti. If there are any mistakes, please feel free to correct them! Cacti are familiar to everyone, but we usually cultivate the ones that bloom white flowers, which mostly open at night and close during the day, preventing us from appreciating their beauty. Now there are many hybrid cacti varieties, such as those of the Siebold family, which bloom beautifully and have a longer blooming period. Many people are purchasing them. However, buying a beautiful flowering cactus can be very expensive, so most people buy small cacti about 1 to 2 centimeters in size. Some people don't know how to care for them, and after planting, they either wither completely or rot. In fact, these small cacti grow roots very quickly. As long as you master the right techniques, they can root rapidly. After the roots grow, it's not a problem to reach 8 to 10 centimeters within a year. As long as the cactus is large enough, it can bloom in the same year. It's very easy. Today, I mainly want to introduce how to make small cacti root quickly and grow rapidly.
Usually, the cacti we buy are very small. Remember to ensure the fullness of the cactus's body, not the withered ones. After receiving them, don't rush to root or plant them. The first thing to do is to place the received cacti in a well-lit and ventilated area and let them dry for two to three days. The purpose of drying is to allow the bottom wounds to heal and dry, as most of these cacti's lateral buds are cut directly from the mother plant and have large wounds. After drying, you can proceed to root them.
The method of rooting is very simple. Find a flower pot and fill it with slightly moist soil, keeping the moisture content at around 50%. How to determine the moisture content? Squeeze the soil in your hand; it should form a shape and completely disperse when released, without water dripping. Fill the soil in the pot, then place the bottom wound of the small cactus's lateral bud into the soil, pressing it in about half a centimeter.
Afterward, place the entire pot in a well-lit and ventilated area. Insert a bamboo skewer or toothpick halfway into the soil. When the skewer has no moisture left, it indicates that the potting soil is dry to more than half, and you should water it again. When watering next time, make sure it gets light and ventilation, then water it again. This cycle continues until the aerial roots grow out and扎 into the soil, indicating successful rooting and the start of the growth stage.
If you want cacti to root quickly, whether big or small, you must first dry the wounds, then root with moist soil. When rooting, make sure there is light, proper ventilation, and the temperature is not below 15 degrees. Once the cacti have rooted completely, we need to make them grow rapidly. Cacti grow very quickly. With adequate watering, sufficient fertilizer, and plenty of light, they can grow rapidly. To make cacti grow fast, the temperature must be above 15 degrees, which is their growth temperature. Then place it in the area with the most sunlight throughout the year. Only with sufficient sunlight, photosynthesis can occur well, roots will develop, and growth will be rapid.

Usually, make sure the potting soil does not lack water. If the soil is completely dry, water it immediately. You can judge this by inserting a toothpick or bamboo skewer into the soil. When you want to water, pull out the skewer and check. If there's no moisture, water it again. Then fertilize it regularly. Since cacti are small, choose a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content and no lack of other elements, such as "Flower多多 No. 10". Apply it once every 1 to 2 months, preferably every half month, but don't make the concentration too high. Water the fertilizer when watering, so the soil will not lack nutrients, the roots can grow rapidly, and the cacti will grow quickly.
This is the method of caring for cacti. If the roots are well-developed and have strong nutrient absorption, the cacti will grow very fast, reaching 7 to 8 centimeters in one year and even over 10 centimeters if well cared for. Only when the cactus is large enough can it reach the flowering age. So if you want it to bloom, make the cactus grow to a certain size, expose it to more sunlight, and provide it with plenty of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once every 1 to 2 months, preferably with high phosphorus content. As long as the temperature is suitable, it can continue to grow and bloom continuously.
