How to grow cactus

1. Suitable soil

If you want the leaves of the cactus to become thicker, the soil used for cultivation must be suitable and should meet the requirements of being loose and breathable. When it grows in such soil, its roots can breathe better and are less likely to rot. If the roots grow well, the leaves will also grow well.

2. Get more sunlight

We all know that it is a plant that prefers sunlight. If it is kept in a too dark environment, the leaves will grow very weak. Usually, when it is kept at home, it can be exposed to light all day. If you find that its leaves are shriveled, you should increase the light and the leaves will grow very thick after a few days.

3. Adequate nutrients

During the breeding period, the nutrients in the soil must be sufficient. Only when the nutrients can keep up can it grow more healthily. Fertilize it 2-3 times a month. You can use compound fertilizer or liquid fertilizer, but the concentration of the fertilizer should not be too high.

4. Reasonable temperature

Whether the temperature of the breeding environment is within a suitable range will also affect the growth of the leaves. It is best to control the temperature at around 20-30℃, and try to keep the temperature above 5℃ during the winter.
