How to cultivate the strange shape of Mountain Shadow Fist

Characteristics of plants

Because it is native to Mexico, it prefers sunlight by nature. In addition, it requires the potting soil to have good ventilation and water permeability, and also requires sandy soil. It doesn't like wet soil and is relatively drought-resistant, so it should not have too much water.

Specific methods

illumination:

This is a very important factor if you want the overall shape of the plant to be unique. If it is not given sufficient sunlight, it is possible that its "mountains" will slowly lose their waves, and the "abnormal stems" will become no different from ordinary stems, and the ultimate goal will not be achieved. Of course, this cannot be generalized. For example, when the light is too strong in the summer, it is necessary to do a good job of shading. In winter, of course, it should be placed where it can see the sun.

grafting:

If you want to make its shape a little weirder, you can also connect a cactus on top of it. However, some people may think it does not look good. It all depends on one's mood.

Moisture:

This is an important part of ensuring the normal development of plants. If this factor is not well controlled, there is naturally no way to control the shape of the plants. Generally speaking, watering should not be too frequent, as Shanyingquan hates a humid environment the most. Normally, just keep the soil slightly dry. Even in summer, do not spray water on the leaves of the plant in very dry areas.

fertilizer:

This is also a basic factor. If it is not properly controlled, the plant may grow into a column at best, or even cause root rot at worst, which is naturally unsatisfactory. Therefore, we must apply fertilizer scientifically. When repotting the plant every year, just put a little bone meal at the bottom of the pot.
