How to grow cactus and make it bloom easily

1. Adequate light

Cactus itself likes light, and it needs sufficient light to bloom. If it is kept in a dark environment for a long time, it will not bloom. You can place it in a well-lit place such as a balcony to make it easier to bloom.

2. Suitable temperature

The temperature should be suitable so that flowers are more likely to bloom. Specifically, the temperature must be kept above 20℃.

3. Suitable matrix

When planting at the beginning, you should choose a suitable substrate, which will be conducive to subsequent flowering. Specifically, you can choose garden soil, but mix it with some base fertilizer, such as animal manure, bean cake, etc. You also need to add an appropriate amount of wood ash, sawdust, etc. Soil changes should also be done regularly to promote flowering.

4. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

Although cactus itself does not need much fertilizer to grow, using fertilizer in moderation can promote flowering. During the growth period, cake fertilizer water is needed every ten days or half a month, but the concentration should not be too high. Also don't overdose, otherwise it will lead to the opposite effect.

5. Create a small environment

We can artificially create a suitable microenvironment for it to promote flowering. It likes an environment with suitable temperature and high humidity. For example, you can use plastic film to create a closed environment on the balcony, place it in it, and it will be easier to bloom.
