You may not be familiar with the techniques for making a cactus produce small balls and the introduction of green plants and flowers that allow a cactus to multiply, the specific details are as follows:
Cacti are a plant loved by many hobbyists, do you have any favorites? Cacti not only look good and are easy to care for, but also have a certain effect on purifying the air. In fact, there are two types of cacti, one is the flowering type, such as the beautiful flowering cactus 'Fuchsia', and the other is the ball-viewing type cactus, such as 'Golden Crown'. Many hobbyists find that when they buy a cactus, it is usually just a ball and does not multiply even after several years of care. Seeing the cacti in the flower market, they all look very beautiful, some even with multiple heads. Today, let's teach you how to care for a multi-headed cactus, let's learn together~
I. Tools for preliminary preparation
1. Blade
You must use a very sharp blade that can quickly cut the cactus and ensure a flat wound. If there are no bruising injuries, the wound can heal quickly. You can buy a craft knife, which works quite well.
2. Dakingling
When it comes to Dakingling, hobbyists should be very familiar with it. Dakingling is a very useful disinfectant. We can use Dakingling to disinfect the blade of a craft knife, and after cutting the cactus with a craft knife, you can sprinkle some Dakingling to accelerate healing and reduce the risk of infection.
3. Gauze
The body of the cactus contains a lot of water. Even if hobbyists cut off a small piece, it will cause the juice of the cactus to flow for a long time, not to mention cutting off half of it. Using gauze can promptly clean up the juice of the cactus, and using tissue paper is also fine.

4. Toothpick
The function of a toothpick is to secure the cactus. Since the cactus is covered with thorns, only a toothpick can be used to secure it.
II. How to create a multi-headed cactus?
It is also possible to make a multi-headed cactus in this season, as the weather is still relatively warm and the survival rate is higher.
1. First, choose a cactus with good quality, then disinfect the small knife with Dakingling, and it is best to cut horizontally from the middle part of the cactus.
2. After cutting, a lot of water will definitely come out. We should quickly wipe away the excess water with gauze.
3. Trim the top part that has been cut into a wedge shape, then use a prepared toothpick to start inserting about 5 centimeters apart, with the length of insertion being half the length of the toothpick.
4. Then, put on anti-thorn gloves, pick up the cactus that has been inserted, insert it vertically into the other half of the cactus, and press gently and slowly fit. The 5 centimeters smaller than the original cactus should be sprinkled with Dakingling. Don't underestimate these 5 centimeters; they will later burst out with many small cactus heads. In this way, the prototype of a multi-headed cactus has emerged.
