Before we talk about the secret script of cactus blooming, let's see how gorgeous the cactus blossoms.
Cactus is a kind of succulent plant, which is native to the desert area with high heat and drought.
It likes to grow in sunny environment, so we must not lack sunshine in the process of maintenance. In summer, when maintaining at home, try to put it on the Nanyang terrace or the East and West balconies where there is sufficient light.
But in the hot summer at noon, you should also remember to cover up, so as not to burn the bulbs in direct light.
The root system of cactus is fleshy root, so the water storage is relatively large. It doesn't need much water on its own.
If cactus is short of water, it will shrink. At this time, we need to replenish water in time.
In summer, you should not water more. You can usually water it once a week. Keep the sand dry and do not accumulate water.
The most suitable soil for cactus growth is sandy soil, which is loose and breathable and not easy to accumulate water.
But we can't use pure sand soil. In summer, using pure sand soil is easy to cause too high temperature in the basin, so sand can only be used as a loose and breathable material mixed with other soil in proportion.
When preparing soil, garden soil, rotten leaf soil and coarse sand can be used in proportion of 2:2:2.
Although cactus is more drought tolerant and poor, fertilizer should be used if it wants to bloom.
In the growing season, the water of rotten fertilizer cake should be used once every 10-15 days. When applying fertilizer, the morning and evening should be chosen as much as possible, and the best effect should be used 2-3 days after rain.
As for the way of cactus cutting, the demon is ready for you.~
1. First, select the mother plant with strong growth and wear gloves to break off the small ball.
2. Put the broken ball in a dry and ventilated place for about 5-7 days. Wait until the wound shrinks before cutting.
3. The matrix can be made of coarse river sand, loam and rotten leaf soil in the proportion of 4:3:2.
4. Bury the broken ball in the matrix, not too deep, or it will easily rot. When buried in the soil, the soil around the cuttings can be compacted by hand, so that the cactus and the soil must be closely connected.
5. Pay attention to management after cutting. Too dry and not easy to root, you can properly pour some water along the basin wall, but do not water, keep the soil moist. Before rooting, prevent sun exposure. After rooting, it can be maintained normally according to the method of curing cactus.
