Should cactus be potted in a deep or shallow pot?The cactus plant is suitable for planting in a shallow pot. The depth of the pot should be about 10 cm. If it is too deep, water accumulation will easily occur, which may cause the cactus to rot. In terms of flower pot material, purple clay and ceramic pots are the most suitable for cacti. These two types of pots are not only breathable, but also highly ornamental. How to repot a cactus1. Time to repot cactus Cactus generally needs to be repotted once a year, and you can choose to do it in spring, when the plant grows most vigorously and there is less damage to it. 2. Watering after repotting the cactus There is no need to water the cactus immediately after repotting. The plant needs a period of adaptation. Watering it immediately can easily cause root rot. It is best to wait 8-14 days before watering it. 3. Precautions for repotting cactus (1) Remove from the pot and trim the roots: After taking out the cactus, trim the old, weak and sick roots, disinfect the wounds, and then place them in a cool place to dry. (2) Prepare potting soil: Choose a larger flower pot. The soil can be mixed with peat soil, perlite and vermiculite. (3) Potting and maintenance: Plant the cactus in the pot, compact the soil, and place it in a well-ventilated and well-lit place for maintenance. Be careful not to water the plant within a week after repotting. |
