How often should you water your cactus?Cactus is a desert plant of the genus Opuntia in the Cactaceae family. It likes a dry environment and is afraid of waterlogging. When watering, we should adhere to the principle of "better dry than wet". The soil should not be too moist and should not be watered too much. Make sure the soil is very dry before watering. At this time, water it thoroughly. 1. Watering in spring: Spring is the time when cacti grow vigorously, so they do not need too much water, usually once every 12 days. 2. Watering in summer: Summer is a season with relatively high temperatures, and water evaporates relatively quickly. It needs to be watered every 4 days. In midsummer, the cactus will enter a dormant mode and will not absorb water, so no watering is required at this time. 3. Watering in autumn: In autumn, just water the plants every 12 days, just like in spring. 4. Watering in winter: Cactus needs to be protected from frost in winter, and watering should be stopped when the growing temperature is below minus 5℃. What kind of water is good for cactus?1. Mineral water: Mineral water is rich in minerals, which can provide nutrition for cactus and is more conducive to its growth. 2. Boiled water: You can also use boiled water to water the cactus. The boiled water can significantly reduce the content of calcium and magnesium ions, which is beneficial to its growth. |
