Can cacti be exposed to the sun?
Today, I will introduce whether cacti can be exposed to the sun and the reasons why cacti cannot be exposed to the sun in the small experience of plant cultivation. Let's get to know it together.
Many friends are very fond of cultivating cacti. Cacti are also a type of plant, but they are rarely seen in the market. Cacti belong to a niche variety, and fewer people cultivate them. Everyone has different understandings of plants. Some people like to grow cacti, while others prefer to grow景天科多肉 (Sedum succulents).
Different varieties of cacti have different prices. Some varieties are very cheap, about three to five yuan each, while some varieties are very expensive, costing hundreds or even thousands of yuan. Different varieties also mean significant differences in price. As the saying goes, the rare is expensive, and expensive cacti are often rare.
The advantage of growing cacti is that it is easier than growing many succulents. The survival rate of cacti is higher, and high-quality cacti do not easily rot. The survival rate is very high. There is no need to choose special soil for planting cacti; any kind of flower soil can be used, including the loess on the roadside.
Those who like to grow cacti know that they enjoy sunlight, and strong sunlight at that. The stronger the sunlight, the better the condition of the cactus. Therefore, cacti can be directly placed outdoors for exposure, and no shading measures are needed even in summer. Placed in direct sunlight, they should be exposed to rain when it rains. Cacti grown in an open environment are in better condition.
Can cacti be exposed to the sun?
The best way to purchase cacti at the moment is through online shopping. More than 90% of the cacti in the Chinese market are produced in Zhangzhou, Fujian. Due to regional conditions, Zhangzhou has become a plant kingdom, with fast-growing cacti, a wide variety, and low prices. No matter where cacti enthusiasts are, the cacti they purchase also come from Zhangzhou.
In the summer, many friends around me have told me about their cacti purchased online. Why did they melt after being exposed to the sun on the balcony for two days? The melting of cacti is rare, and the occurrence of melting in the cactus body is related to the cactus itself. The weak resistance of the cactus body to sunlight can easily cause it to melt.
Why is it that the cacti I used to grow at home could be exposed to direct sunlight, while the cacti I bought online melted after a few days in the sun? The main reason is due to the environmental conditions.
