Management of water and fertilizer for cactus

How to control fertilization of cactus

During the growing season of cactus, appropriate fertilizer can be applied. The fertilizer should be decomposed and thin, and it should be applied once every 10-15 days.

After autumn, pay attention to controlling fertilizer and water. It is only necessary to fertilize once a month. Stop fertilizing at the end of autumn, otherwise the cactus will continue to grow and cause frostbite in winter.

When fertilizing the cactus, be careful not to get fertilizer on the ball. If it does get on the ball, spray it with water in time.

How to control watering of cactus

In general, it is best not to water the cactus from the top, otherwise doing so for a long time will produce extremely ugly spots. In general, water it enough, so you need to loosen the soil frequently so that the potting soil can absorb water evenly to ensure the healthy growth of the plant.

Summer is the season when cactus grows most vigorously. The temperature is high and relatively hot at this time, so the amount of watering should be increased. It is suitable to do so in the low temperature morning and evening. The heat at noon will cause burns to the ball, so the humidity around the cactus should be maintained.

During the hot rainy weather, watering should be moderate, and do not pour water into the sunken areas on the top of the cactus, otherwise it will cause rot. Watering should be done sparingly in winter, and it is best to do it at noon on a sunny day.
