Cactus Flower Cultivation
Here are some small flower cultivation tips about how to cultivate cactus flowers and the methods and precautions for potting cactus. Let's take a look with the editor!
Speaking of cacti, they are quite polarizing in the circle of flower enthusiasts. Those who like them are very fond of them, thinking they are very individualistic and can keep many pots at home. Those who don't like them think they are not ornamental and are thorny, which can be very prickly. In fact, if cacti are well-cared for, their leaves can be fat and textured, which is also very beautiful. Today, Flower Expert is going to show you how to grow cacti to make their leaves plump and juicy.
Although it is commonly said that cacti are very easy to grow and belong to the category of 'lazy person's flowers,' many people's cacti still look dried and spiritless. Today, Flower Expert will tell you the main points to pay attention to when growing cacti.
1. Cacti become dried mainly due to lack of light
Most flower friends who want to grow very thick cacti should pay attention to many issues. The first thing to note is the issue of lighting. Many flower friends' cacti do not grow well, and the first thing to consider is whether they lack sunlight.
Cacti are flowers that love sunlight and are best kept on a sunny south-facing balcony or outdoors. The stronger the sunlight, the better the cacti grow. Once they lack sunlight, the leaves of the cacti start to shrivel, affecting their ornamental value.

2. Cacti may lack spirit due to insufficient water
Usually when we talk about cacti, many flower friends automatically associate them with drought resistance. Because cacti are native to desert areas, they indeed have good drought resistance. However, good drought resistance does not mean they do not need water. If you find that the fleshy stems of the cacti have started to shrink and look dried, it is likely they are short of water.
Watering cacti should be done when the soil is dry. You must water them only when the soil is completely dry, because even if the surface is dry, the bottom may still be moist due to the strong root system of cacti. Water thoroughly but do not let water accumulate, as excessive watering can easily lead to root rot in cacti.
3. Use "soybean water" for insufficient fertilizer
If you want the leaves of the cacti to grow thick and textured, fertilizer is definitely indispensable. If there is a lack of fertilizer, the general condition of the cacti will not be very good. Spring is a great time for cacti to grow, so we need to take advantage of this time to use more fertilizer for the cacti.
