Cacti are very fond of sunshine. They need to be exposed to sunshine all year round. Otherwise, the branches and stems will be smaller, the number of flowers will be smaller, the flowering period will be shortened, and the ornamental value will be greatly reduced. Put it on the balcony for maintenance. Only when enough light is ensured, can photosynthesis be carried out normally. Synthetic nutrients can promote the plant to be strong and strong, and the flowers can bloom smoothly. However, the summer sun is very strong, need appropriate shade, so as to avoid stem atrophy and yellowing.
It is drought resistant and has little water demand. However, in order to ensure good growth, it is necessary to keep sufficient water in the spring and autumn growth season, and not to water too much. It can be kept moist by proper water replenishment, otherwise the plant will rot and the flower will wither and fall off. When it is in dormancy, we should pay attention to control watering.
It doesn't like to apply excessive fertilizer, but growth and flowering need nutrient support, so it needs to apply fertilizer every 10-15 days. Before flower bud differentiation, phosphate fertilizer should be applied every 7-10 days. Winter will enter dormancy, summer will enter semi dormancy, at this time growth is slow, need to stop fertilization.
It likes to be warm, the appropriate temperature is kept at about 15-25 ℃, it can't stand the cold, and it should be kept above 10 ℃ in winter.
