The flesh of cactus is not poisonous, but its thorns are poisonous. If you are accidentally pricked by it, it may cause an allergic reaction to the skin, such as large-area redness and swelling. If this happens, you can immediately apply soapy water to the affected area, then clean it, remove it with tweezers, and then bandage it.

2. Application

3. Maintenance

1. The selection of culture medium needs to meet several conditions, that is, good air permeability, strong drainage ability, and fertility. It is best to use sandy loam.

2. Don't rush to water the plants when you first plant them. You need to give them time to adapt to the environment and adjust themselves. You can use a small spray bottle to spray them lightly to keep them moist. After about half a month, you can gradually increase the amount of water.
