Several common problems in cactus cultivation

How to safely overwinter cactus

Cactus likes a hot environment. It should be placed indoors for maintenance in winter, and the room temperature should be kept at around 5°C. It is best to cover it with plastic film during the winter. Cactus is a drought-tolerant plant, so the soil in the pot needs to be kept dry in winter and wrung out fifty percent. Normal maintenance will be carried out after Qingming Festival.

What to do if the cactus does not bloom

Most cacti will bloom when they reach 3-4 years of age. Some cacti are slow to bloom because they are placed in a dark place indoors for a long time and lack sunlight, which hinders the normal development and photosynthesis of the plants. If you want the cacti to bloom, the temperature should be kept above 20℃ and they should be exposed to sunlight all year round.

What to do if the top of the cactus turns white

If the top of the cactus turns white, we can move it to a sunny place for maintenance, but we cannot put it completely in the sun, otherwise the ball will be burned and rot. It is best to move it to the sun after 15 days so that it can receive sufficient light. The whitened areas gradually return to their original appearance.
