How to make a cactus grow faster
Today's experience sharing: How to make a cactus grow faster and the correct maintenance methods for caring for cacti, followed by detailed answers from the editor.
Cacti are relatively common plants in tropical regions and are very drought-resistant, making them relatively easy to care for. However, making a cactus grow faster is not an easy task. Therefore, many people don't know how to make a cactus grow quickly. In fact, maintenance is very important. However, people can follow the cactus cultivation methods below to make the cactus grow more luxuriantly.
【One, how to grow a cactus faster】
<1. Add nutrient solution>
In the process of living, cacti naturally cannot do without fertilizer. However, fertilizing is not conducive to the absorption of the cactus roots, so it is best to add a nutrient solution, which can also significantly increase the growth rate of the cactus under the catalysis of the nutrient solution. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to frequent fertilization when cultivating cacti.
<2. Water appropriately>
Cacti are relatively drought-resistant plants. They usually will not wither and die even if they are not watered for a month. However, it is important to note that not watering for a long time will affect the normal growth of the plant, and excessive water deficiency can lead to premature aging of the plant. Therefore, it is recommended to water once every two weeks, which also helps the cactus roots to absorb better.
<3. Control of the growing environment>
Although cacti enjoy a sunny environment, excessive exposure to the sun will slow down the growth rate of the cactus. Of course, the cactus will not die from being sunburned. If you want the cactus to grow faster, it is best to find a shady spot for the cactus when the sun is too hot, as this will allow the cactus to grow more quickly.
【Two, cactus cultivation methods】
<1. Soil selection>
How to make a cactus grow faster
Potted cacti generally require well-draining, breathable calcareous sandy soil or sandy loam soil. The soil must be breathable, as soil with high clay content is not suitable for plant root growth. When planting, increasing drainage capacity and beneficial to aeration, attention should be paid to soil selection.
<2. Temperature control>
The optimal growth temperature for cacti is between 20-30°C, with the highest temperature not exceeding 35°C and the lowest not below 5°C. Maintaining a temperature of above 5°C in winter can ensure safe overwintering, and the drier the potting soil is, the more cold-resistant it is. The winter temperature should be relatively stable, as excessive day-night temperature differences can easily cause frost damage. When the temperature in spring reaches 15°C or higher, growth begins. In the midsummer, when the temperature reaches 35°C or higher, the plant enters dormancy, and growth resumes in autumn.
<3. Root care>
The treatment of the roots of the cactus is crucial. For growers, it is best to purchase and use a strong root solution. Because once the roots of the cactus become stronger, the impact of changes in the external environment will not be significant.
