Cactus Growing Environment Conditions and Characteristics

The editor will explain the related topics about the growing environment conditions and characteristics of cacti, and next, the editor will introduce to the netizens.

Cactus Growing Environment Conditions and Characteristics

Cacti mostly grow in the arid deserts of North and South America, and they prefer dry and sunny climates. In addition to absorbing water and nutrients through the roots, the stems of cacti also have auxiliary functions, so the suitable relative humidity for the growing environment of cacti is 60-70%, with a temperature between 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.

Cactus Growing Environment Conditions and Requirements

Cacti originally grew in tropical regions, and are cultivated in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan, and Guizhou in China. Cacti like warmth and can tolerate high temperatures, but should not exceed 35 degrees. Also, attention should be paid to the temperature difference between morning and evening in winter, as a large temperature difference can easily cause frostbite. They can be moved outdoors when spring temperatures recover, and they start growing when the temperature is above 15 degrees.

Cactus Growing Temperature

The suitable temperature for cacti to grow is between 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. Too high or too low temperatures will stop growth. In winter, it's best to move them to a greenhouse, keeping the temperature above 5 degrees and making sure not to water frequently, only when the soil is dry.

Cactus Growing Humidity

The humidity requirement for the growing environment of cacti can reach 60%-70%. As the temperature rises, cacti grow vigorously and should be watered sufficiently. The watering should be thorough and not frequent; that is, water thoroughly once and then wait for several days before watering again. If watered too often, excess water not only fails to promote growth but can also cause root rot.

Cactus Growing Soil

Cacti enjoy sunlight and dislike moisture. Their roots cannot be soaked in water for a long time, so when choosing soil, sandy soil should be considered first, as it has good drainage.

Cactus Growth Cycle and Process

Cacti sprout and grow in spring, bloom in summer, continue to grow in autumn, and hibernate in winter. In tropical regions, they can grow all year round, while in other places, they will only grow when the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius or above. During the growth process, the appearance of cacti does not change, only their size will increase. The spines of young cacti are green and dense, and as they grow older, the spines turn white and become more scattered.
