Cactus soil change timeIt is best to change the soil for cacti in spring and autumn. The temperature is suitable at this time and it is also the vigorous growth period of the plant. After changing the soil, the roots can germinate faster and the survival rate of planting is higher. How to repot and change soil for cactusFirst, you need to remove the cactus from the pot. You can put on thicker plastic gloves and gently tap the pot, or shovel the soil. Then take out the plant, remove some of the old roots, plant it in a new pot, compact the soil, cover it with soil, and water it thoroughly. Cactus soil replacement precautions1. When changing the soil of a cactus, it is necessary to disinfect it to prevent bacteria from accumulating inside and affecting the growth of the plant. Also, do not choose a flowerpot that is too large. A large pot is not conducive to drainage and can easily cause root rot. Choose a smaller flowerpot. 2. The soil for cactus should have good drainage and air permeability. You can mix ordinary garden soil and coarse sand. You can disinfect the soil before transplanting. 3. When changing the soil of the cactus, you can apply some organic fertilizer, mainly liquid fertilizer made from fish intestines, bean cakes, etc., and control the concentration. Do not apply concentrated fertilizer. You can also apply lime water appropriately to adjust the acidity of the soil. How to care for cactus after changing soil1. After changing the soil of the cactus, compact the soil and place it in a bright and well-ventilated place for maintenance. At this time, no watering is required and fertilization should be stopped. Waiting for new thorns to grow means the potting change is successful. 2. After changing the soil of the cactus, you can water it thoroughly immediately to keep the soil moist. You should reduce watering afterwards and sprinkle water around the plant appropriately to maintain the humidity of the environment. 3. It may be normal for the leaves of the cactus to turn yellow after changing the soil. Do not water it too much and place it in a shady place, and it will slowly get better. 4.
