How to care for the newly bought cactus

1. Watering

After you buy a new cactus, you can water it once, but not too much, just make the soil wet. Do not water too much, because the cactus has just arrived in the new environment and is relatively fragile. It cannot withstand too much water. Excessive watering will easily cause root waterlogging. Watering once a week is enough.

2. Lighting

Cactus is a light-loving crop and likes sunlight. After you bring it home, you can let it receive appropriate light, preferably soft diffuse light. At the same time, the light intensity should not be too strong, and avoid direct sunlight to prevent the plant from being sunburned.

3. Fertilization

Applying a little nitrogen fertilizer can help the newly purchased cactus grow faster. But be careful not to apply too much or potassium fertilizer, because the absorption capacity of the cactus is very poor at this time. Excessive fertilizer or using the wrong fertilizer can easily lead to root burn.

4. Temperature

Cactus likes a higher temperature environment. After you buy it, you need to control the temperature between 20-35 degrees, so that it can adapt to the new environment faster. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will delay the process of adapting to the new environment.
