How to grow cactus

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: When growing cactus, you need to use loose, well-breathable soil. Do not use soil that is too sticky.

2. Watering: Watering does not need to be too frequent. Wait until the soil is dry before watering. Watering must be thorough. Watering should be reduced in winter to ensure that the soil is slightly dry. In summer, the amount of watering can be appropriately increased.

3. Light: Cactus needs sufficient light to grow, so it should be placed in a sunny environment. If there is insufficient light, it will affect its growth and its disease resistance will be very low.

2. Breeding Methods

Propagation by cuttings: Use scissors to cut off healthy large branches, then place them in a ventilated place to dry, prepare suitable soil, and after drying, plant them in the soil. Water them in small amounts, and they will take root after a while.

3. Common Pests

1. Red spider mites: Proper ventilation and appropriate temperature and humidity are necessary to prevent red spider mites from infesting the area. When you find them, spray them with omethoate to kill them completely before winter.

2. Scale insects: They are difficult to prevent and control, so the growing environment must be kept clean and sterile, and the affected parts must be cut off to avoid further harm.
