This article provides an overview of how to plant a cactus and the cultivation methods for potting cacti, including knowledge about flowers. Details are as follows:
Cacti are round and plump, and although they have spines, it doesn't hinder people's fondness for them. Moreover, a well-cared-for cactus can even bloom! So today, I'll tell you how to take care of cacti!
If we talk about easy-to-grow plants, cacti naturally rank first. Although they don't have the bright appearance of other plants, placing them in an exquisite pot and setting them on a table can also create a great effect.
There are many varieties of cacti, and you can choose based on where you want to keep them. Some cacti have longer, thicker, and denser spines, with the most typical being the golden barrel cactus, which has a yellowish-green body. Others are typically green, with relatively smaller spines. Overall, they are all viable, so just choose one according to your personal preference!
Cacti are typical tropical plants, so the most important thing to pay attention to during their care is watering. You should know that cacti contain a certain amount of water in their bodies, and when they are short of water, they maintain their growth by consuming the water in their bodies. If watered too much, they can easily rot the roots, especially newly planted cacti, which should not be watered too much. Spraying with a spray bottle is enough. However, do not let them go without water for too long, or you will see the cacti become shriveled.

Also, when watering, be careful not to get water on the cactus. Therefore, when repotting, do not choose a pot that is too small, as it is inconvenient for watering and can easily injure your hands.
In the growth process of cacti, sunlight is essential. However, in the high temperatures of summer, they grow very slowly and gradually enter a dormant state, so we should try to keep them away from direct sunlight at noon. Also, in winter, they can tolerate drought but are not cold-resistant. If you accidentally leave it on the balcony, it can easily freeze to death.
If you want the cactus to bloom, apart from a suitable growing environment, proper fertilization can also play a good role. However, it is best to fertilize during the growing seasons of spring and autumn. Otherwise, using fertilizer in the summer and winter can burn the plant.
