How to grow cactus more vigorously?

Cactus is a medium-sized plant that is very suitable as a home decoration. It can not only absorb dust, but also has the function of purifying the air. Some friends may think that cactus is difficult to maintain, but in fact, cactus is a plant that is very suitable for "lazy people". Caring for a cactus does not require too much energy and time. On the contrary, proper laissez-faire management is more conducive to its growth. So how can we grow cactus more vigorously?

1. Watering

Cactus is drought-resistant, and watering should be carried out according to the dryness and wetness of the soil. Water thoroughly after the soil is completely dry to avoid waterlogging. In hot seasons, water evaporates quickly and needs to be replenished in time; in the rainy season, the frequency of watering should be reduced due to high air humidity.

2. Sunshine

Cactus needs plenty of sunlight, at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. In summer, proper shade should be provided to avoid strong direct sunlight.

3. Fertilization

Cactus does not require much fertilizer , so using nutrient-rich soil is sufficient. When the growth is slow, apply an appropriate amount of fully decomposed organic fertilizer or nutrient solution.

4. Environment

Cactus requires a well-ventilated environment and can be placed on a windowsill, balcony or a well-ventilated place indoors.

5. Notes

Avoid heavy watering which can cause waterlogging and root rot. Watering should be done from the bottom, avoiding direct watering of the sphere. Avoid frequent or excessive fertilization to avoid fertilizer damage. When applying fertilizer, control the amount of fertilizer to avoid fertilizer dripping onto the ball.

When caring for a cactus, just pay attention to the above points to ensure its healthy growth. At the same time, be careful to prevent root rot or bulb rot. The suitable growth temperature is 20~35°C, and not lower than 10°C in winter to ensure that the cactus can safely survive the winter. When the temperature is too low, the cactus may be damaged by freezing or wither.
