Maintenance tips from the master:

1. Apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. March to November is the peak growth period of cactus, and it should be fertilized about once every 20 days. The fertilizer can be made from decomposed bone residue, Chinese medicine residue, etc. The compound fertilizer can be diluted to a concentration of 4‰ for foliage fertilization, and the entire ball should be sprayed wet.

2. When growing cactus, put a layer of tiles at the bottom of the pot to allow the roots to breathe and prevent root rot; water when the soil is dry.

Maintenance tips from the master:

1. Get more sun and less water. Summer is the season when the Euphorbia tridentata grows vigorously, and it needs more sunlight, but you still have to be careful to avoid exposure to the sun at noon. You can use sunshade nets, screens, etc. to provide shade. Do not water too much. Wait until the surface of the soil in the pot turns white before watering.

2. Eat less fat. Euphorbia tridentata does not like large amounts of fertilizer, so you can apply fully decomposed bean cake water or bone residue water once a month.

Maintenance tips from the master:

1. Apply more fertilizer. During the growing period of the cactus, fertilize it about once every 15 days. Fertilizer can be made at home. Put crushed bean cake, fish intestines, etc. into a bottle, add 2-4 times the amount of water, and leave a 1/3 space above the bottle. After it is fully fermented and decomposed, take the liquid on the top and mix it with clean water in a ratio of 1:20.

2. It is best to use rainwater or well water for watering. If it is tap water, it is best to let it dry for 1-2 days before use. Fish tank water and rice washing water are both good choices.

Maintenance tips from the master:

1. If you want the cactus to grow well, you must apply more fertilizer, about once every 10-15 days. You can use fully decomposed bean cake, Chinese medicine residue, bone residue, chicken manure fertilizer, etc. as fertilizer, or you can use 0.1% urea or 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution alternately.

2. Fertilizer should not get on the ball, otherwise it will easily make the cactus sick. Fertilizer should be applied slowly along the edge of the pot. If it splashes onto the ball accidentally, rinse it off with clean water in time.
