It is better to use fertile and loose soil with good drainage for cultivating cactus. During the growth period, water more appropriately. Water must be poured after the soil is dry, and no water can be accumulated. To give it a growth environment of 5-30 ℃, the temperature difference during growth should not be too large. The method of cutting or splitting can be selected for propagation.

I. breeding environment

1. Soil: it is better to use fertile, loose and well drained soil for cultivating cactus.

2. Watering: during the growth period, water more properly, spray water around, improve the air humidity, water must wait for the soil to dry before pouring, no water accumulation, control the amount of water in summer and strengthen ventilation, keep the basin soil dry in winter, and improve its cold resistance.

3. Temperature: to give it a 5-30 ℃ growth environment, the temperature difference during the growth period should not be too large, when the temperature is high in summer, cooling measures should be taken, and in winter, it should be placed in indoor breeding.

2. Breeding methods

1. Cutting propagation: it's best to carry out in April, with the highest survival rate. When cutting, use scissors to cut 6-10cm strong stem nodes, and then put them in the ventilated place to dry. After drying, insert them into the soil, water them properly and put them in a cool environment.

2. Branch propagation: carefully take off the basin, and then cut off the multi arris stem nodes of the roots with tools, and plant them in the basin soil with the soil.
