The "small matters" to pay attention to when caring for cacti to grow "green fat ones" with large and colorful blooms
Cacti have a very wide variety, all kinds of shapes, with many species in each genus, including cacti like Echinopsis, Leshan, and the well-known草球 (Grass Ball), etc. For cacti, what is indispensable during the care process? It is sunlight. Once there is sufficient sunlight, it is very easy to care for them. Therefore, today Xiao Qi will talk about the things to pay attention to when caring for cacti.
The first point is that the soil must be well-draining. Many flower friends cannot grow cacti well indoors mainly because of the soil. Generally, for beginners, it is recommended to mix soil with more than half of granular material, which increases the soil's breathability and water permeability, preventing root rot. The pot should not be too large, choose one with good breathability, and a smaller earthenware pot is the best.
The second point is about sunlight, as cacti and cacti-like plants are all sun-loving flowers. No matter the variety of cacti, they should be placed in the sunniest spot. Insufficient sunlight will lead to poor growth and easily cause etiolation, and they will not bloom.
The third point is to water reasonably. Under suitable temperature conditions, if we want them to grow and bloom quickly, watering is essential. Generally, as long as the potting soil is completely dry, water thoroughly. Do not let the potting soil stay too dry for long, nor water too frequently, which can ensure normal growth and blooming without causing dry or rotting roots.
Caring for and precautions of cacti
Another aspect is fertilization. Depending on the growing and blooming seasons of cacti, we can choose different fertilizers. For example, when the cactus is small and we want to grow it bigger, we use multi-element or nitrogen-rich fertilizers that do not lack other elements. If it has reached a certain age and we want it to bloom continuously, we choose fertilizers high in phosphorus and potassium but not lacking in other elements, such as Huaduo No. 2. Using it once or twice a month can promote rapid growth or blooming.
Cacti are considered one of the easiest plants to care for. We should not choose a pot that is too large, but one with good breathability. Configure well-draining soil, place it in the sunlight, water and fertilize appropriately. As long as the cactus is large enough, it will definitely bloom and fill the pot.
