How to grow cactus in autumn

1. Ensure lighting

Cactus originally grows in tropical places with strong sunlight, so it prefers an environment with sufficient light. After the light intensity decreases in autumn, it needs to be placed in a balcony or other place where it can receive enough sunlight to meet its growth needs. However, at noon in early autumn, when the light is very strong, appropriate shading is needed.

2. Ensure temperature

In autumn, the temperature needs to be maintained above 10℃ so that it can grow normally. If the temperature is too low, it is likely to cause adverse phenomena such as root rot, affecting its growth.

3. Fertilize monthly

Autumn is a relatively important growing period for it, and its growth rate will be faster at this time. Therefore, it is necessary to fertilize it once a month to give it more nutrients. After entering late autumn, the temperature is relatively low and its growth rate will slow down. At this time, there is no need to fertilize it to avoid fertilizer damage.

4. Water appropriately

It likes moisture, especially during the growing season, and needs more water to assist growth. Therefore, you should water it in time in autumn, and replenish it with water when you see that the soil is dry. However, after entering late autumn, it is necessary to control water and reduce the frequency of watering.
