How to raise a ball of armor

1. Use soil

The soil used to cultivate iron armor balls must be suitable, only in this way can it grow better. Flower lovers can prepare their own soil by mixing peat soil, vermiculite and some perlite, or mixing coarse sand, leaf mold and garden soil in a ratio of 3:2:1. In order to make the soil fertile, some decomposed bone meal needs to be added.

2. Temperature

The temperature range suitable for plant growth is 15-28℃. It does not like an environment with too high or too low temperature, so when the temperature changes, it should be adjusted as soon as possible. Especially during the wintering period, the plant can accept a temperature of 10°C, so when the temperature is lower than this, you must pay attention to cold protection.

3. Lighting

During the maintenance of the iron armor ball, it should be placed in a well-lit and ventilated place so that it can receive sufficient sunlight. But be careful not to expose it to strong light, which can easily cause excessive evaporation of water and affect its growth.

4. Watering

The plant should be watered in time during the growing period, and watered thoroughly when it is dry. The soil should be kept dry in winter. Do not allow water to accumulate in the pot, otherwise it will easily lead to root rot.
