Is cactus easy to grow?

1. Is it easy to raise?

Cactus is a very drought-resistant plant and can survive without watering for a long time, so it is relatively easy to grow. But it is not tolerant to waterlogging, so watering should be less but not more, otherwise the roots will easily be submerged and the plant will die. At the same time, we must avoid frostbite from low temperatures and take good warming measures in winter.

2. How to maintain

1. Light: Cactus is a light-loving plant. It needs to be given sufficient light, and it is not afraid of the sun, even strong light is fine. But long-term lack of light will cause it to grow poorly, so put it in a sunny place.

2. Temperature: Cacti are afraid of cold and can easily get frostbite in low temperature environments. In winter, keep it in a warm place indoors, and the temperature should not be lower than 5℃. If the room temperature is not high enough, you can put a plastic bag on the top of the plant to keep it warm.

3. Watering: Cactus is drought-tolerant but afraid of waterlogging, so do not water it too much. Moreover, the substrate is usually sandy soil with good drainage. Water must not be allowed to accumulate in it, otherwise it will hinder the breathing of the roots and cause them to rot and die.

4. Fertilization: Cactus can grow even in barren places, so it does not require much fertilizer. Add a little base fertilizer when planting and changing the soil, and apply some compound fertilizer during the growth period to provide it with nutrients.
