Is it easy to care for a cactus? As we all know, it is definitely very easy to care for. However, some people who have taken care of many flowers, especially those who have just started to get involved in flower care, often spray water on the flowers to keep them moist after reading articles. You should never spray water on a cactus, especially when it is kept indoors where the ventilation is poor. If exposed to strong sunlight, the moisture can easily attach to the pads of the cactus, causing brown or white spots to appear. Cacti are not strict about humidity requirements because they are desert plants. We only need to follow a few points to care for them properly.
Caring for a cactus is simple. The first step is to prepare loose and breathable soil. As a desert plant, it prefers soil with good drainage. We can mix particle soil and nutrient-rich soil in a 1:1 ratio. Particle soil can be river sand, colored stones, or volcanic rocks, as long as they are granulated. Of course, you can also use a mixture of nutritious soil and particle soil in a 1:1 ratio, which is breathable, has good water retention, and is most suitable for cacti.
How should you water a cactus? The principle of watering a cactus is to water it thoroughly when the potting soil is completely dry. If the ventilation in your room is sufficient, you can water it thoroughly when the soil is halfway dry. Loose and breathable soil allows the cactus to absorb enough water for rapid growth.
If you want the cactus to grow quickly, you must fertilize it. Choose a multi-element fertilizer or one with a high nitrogen content to promote rapid growth and easily extend a pad to over half a meter in length. The cactus I care for is supplied with plenty of water and fertilizer, and within a year, a pad can grow to over half a meter in length. This is very useful for grafting on to蟹爪兰 (Schlumbergera) or剑兰 (Cattleya), and it is very effective with plenty of nutrients. Grafted on to Schlumbergera, it grows very quickly and produces a large number of flowers.
Cacti are that easy to care for - just provide plenty of sunlight, prepare loose and breathable soil, ensure adequate water, and fertilize regularly to promote rapid growth. Within a year, a pad can grow to half a meter in length and is excellent for grafting. Grafting it onto any plant will result in fast growth and abundant flowering.
The above is a comprehensive introduction on how to plant a cactus pot and the knowledge of caring for cacti, hoping to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
