1. Is it a good thing for cactus to bloom white flowers?

The white flowers of cactus have nothing to do with feng shui or auspiciousness, but mainly depend on the variety of cactus. If a cactus blooms white flowers, it means that the cultivated cactus variety is the one that blooms white flowers. It is very rare for a cactus to bloom. It has extremely high requirements for the surrounding environment and needs to be maintained for a certain number of years before it can bloom. Therefore, if the cactus you are caring for blooms, it has a good meaning, indicating that good things are about to happen and good luck is about to come.

2. How to grow a cactus to make it bloom

1. Adequate light: Cactus likes light and requires a lot of light during its growth period. It is best to give it full sunlight all year round during maintenance. The more sufficient the light, the more beautiful its growth will be, and it will accumulate more nutrients, allowing it to grow vigorously and bloom better. If you encounter continuous rainy days, it is best to add artificial lighting.

2. Temperature requirements: Cactus likes a warm environment. The temperature suitable for its growth is between 20-30℃. Temperature control measures must be taken during cultivation. It has poor cold resistance and needs to be moved indoors after winter. It is best to control the temperature above 10℃, which can promote its vigorous growth and is also beneficial for its later flowering.

3. Reasonable water supply: Cactus prefers a slightly dry environment and is not tolerant to waterlogging. During the maintenance period, you don’t need to water too frequently. Just water when you find the soil is dry. Spring, autumn and summer are its growing seasons. When the soil is dry, water it thoroughly. After winter, the growth rate slows down or even stops, and it is in a dormant stage. At this time, even if the soil is dry, it should not be watered thoroughly. Just a small amount of water will be enough.

4. Appropriate top dressing: Cactus likes fertilizer, and top dressing is required in time during the growth period to supplement nutrition. Generally, top dressing is done once every half a month in spring and autumn, using a dilute liquid fertilizer. It is strictly forbidden to apply concentrated fertilizers or raw fertilizers, otherwise fertilizer damage may occur easily. In addition, it is necessary to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before and after its flowering period, which is beneficial to flowering.
