Cactus has a strong adaptability and can be used in most soils, but if you want to grow it well, you should choose alkaline sandy soil, which must be loose, breathable and fertile so that it can grow well. The most important thing for growing flowers is the soil. If the soil is good and suitable for the growth of plants and flowers, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The same is true for cacti, which need soil suitable for cactus growth. Here is a brief sharing with you. First, alkaline soilThe acidity and alkalinity of the soil has a very important influence on the growth of plants. Some plants grow in the southern region and prefer acidic soil, while some plants grow in barren places, saline-alkali land, and desertified areas. Cactus belongs to this category. The plant itself has the ability to adapt to the environment. Cactus has been growing like this for a long time and has begun to adapt to the alkaline soil environment. Cactus will grow more vigorously in sandy soil, soil with good air permeability and containing a large amount of organic matter. Second, good water retention and permeabilityAlkaline soil, sandy soil, if you only understand this meaning, you will use some sandy soil to grow cactus. In fact, the soil for cactus should not only be alkaline sandy, but also have water retention and air permeability. Any heavy clay soil is not suitable for the growth of cactus. Because of poor water permeability, it is easy for the cactus roots to rot. Third, prepare the soil for cactusYou can mix peat soil, leaf mold, river sand, lime, charcoal powder, coal slag, etc. This kind of soil not only has the characteristics of alkaline sand and good permeability, but also contains certain organic matter and relatively rich nutrients, which can adapt to the growth of cactus very well. To sum up, the soil for cactus should be loose, breathable, water-retaining and breathable, and alkaline sandy soil is the best. In order to make the cactus grow better, in addition to ensuring that the soil configuration is suitable for its growth, you must also pay attention to the maintenance and management of watering, light, and fertilization. Although cactus is a succulent plant, it still needs to be watered appropriately in order to grow better. You can water it a little when the soil is dry, and you can water it more appropriately in summer. Cacti like light and need sufficient light. If there is insufficient light, it will easily grow too tall and deform. Therefore, you must give it enough light and apply appropriate fertilizer to grow cacti. |
