How to grow cactus in winter

1. Watering

In winter, cacti need less watering and the soil should not be too moist, because they have a certain degree of drought resistance. Too much watering is not conducive to the breathing of their roots and is prone to root rot. If you are in a heated room, you can water the plants normally. If the temperature is below 3°C, you should keep the soil dry.

2. Proper ventilation

In order to avoid frostbite, most people will move the cactus indoors, but most indoors are hot and dry, so it is necessary to open the windows appropriately at noon. Only by allowing the plant to breathe fresh air can it survive the winter smoothly and reduce the chance of being attacked by diseases and insects.

3. Get more sunlight

The sunlight in winter is very weak, so the place where you maintain the cactus should have bright light, and it is best to place it on a south-facing balcony. It not only meets its needs for light, but also increases the temperature of the breeding environment to a certain extent.

4. Temperature adjustment

If the temperature is too low during the winter, the plants will be frozen, so the temperature in winter must be kept above 5℃. If the temperature is lower than this, you should use plastic bags or cardboard boxes to cover the plants to keep them warm.
