How to grow cactus

1. Soil

When growing cacti, you need to choose suitable soil. It should be loose, permeable and have certain particles. It is best to be slightly alkaline because its roots will release organic acids.

2. Lighting

When caring for a cactus, place it in a place with sufficient and even light. If light only comes from one side, the plant must be rotated after a period of time, otherwise it will grow crooked.

3. Watering

It is better to water the cactus in a dry state rather than a wet state. It is more drought-resistant and needs a moderately dry state of moisture. Most of them cannot survive the winter below 0 degrees, so they must be moved indoors in the north during the winter.

4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

During the maintenance process, cacti may be harmed by scale insects or red spiders. They must be removed or sprayed with miticides in time in the early stages to prevent large-scale occurrences and cause more serious damage.
