Speaking of cacti, they are quite polarizing in the circle of flower lovers. Those who like them love them very much, thinking they are very个性 and can keep many pots at home, while those who don't like them think they are not ornamental and are thorny, which can hurt people. In fact, if a cactus is well cared for, its leaves can be fat and textured, which is also very beautiful. Today, Flower will take everyone to see how to care for a cactus to make its leaves plump and full.
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 wilted and spiritless. Today, Flower will tell you the main points to pay attention to when caring for a cactus.
1. The cactus is wilted mainly due to lack of light
If most flower friends want to grow a very thick cactus, they still need to pay attention to many problems. The first thing to pay attention to is the issue of light. Many flower friends' cacti are not growing well, and the first thing to consider is whether they lack sunlight.
Cacti are a type of plant that loves light and is best kept on a south-facing balcony or outdoors with plenty of sunlight. The stronger the sunlight, the better the cactus grows. Once sunlight is insufficient, the leaves of the cactus begin to wilt, affecting its ornamental value.

2. The cactus may lack water if it looks spiritless
Usually, when we talk about cacti, many flower friends automatically associate them with drought resistance. Because the original habitat of cacti is in the desert, their drought resistance is indeed very good. However, being drought-resistant does not mean they do not need water. If you find that the fleshy stems of the cactus have started to shrivel, it is likely to be due to lack of water.
Watering cacti should be done when the soil is dry. You must water it only when the soil is completely dry, because the roots of the cactus are quite strong, and the surface may be dry, but the bottom may still be moist. Water thoroughly but do not let it accumulate, as excessive watering can easily lead to root rot in the cactus.
3. Use some "soybean water" if there is a lack of fertilizer
If you want the leaves of the cactus to grow thick and textured, fertilizer is definitely indispensable. If the plant lacks fertilizer, the cactus usually will not be in a good state. Spring is a great time for cacti to grow, so we should seize this time and use more fertilizer for the cactus.
