Do you need any nutrition to grow cactus?

Cactus has been transplanted from wild to indoor cultivation, which reflects a trend of urban residents to choose potted flower varieties. Because of the limited building area and dry air, it is often difficult to cultivate large or exquisite potted flowers. Only some varieties with small size, drought tolerance, simple management and high ornamental value are most suitable, and cactus plants just meet these requirements.

Indoor potted cactus, it is advisable to choose varieties with small spheres and many flowers. In cultivation, this plant should not be considered drought-tolerant, and its normal watering and fertilization should be ignored. Indoor cultivation can create a closed space with high temperature and high humidity with lead wire and plastic film on the windowsill. Under this condition, most cacti not only grow fast, but also have crystal clear colors.

Potted soil requires calcareous sandy soil or sandy loam with good drainage and ventilation. Don't water the newly planted cactus first, just spray it several times a day, then water it a little after half a month, and then water it normally after a month when the new roots grow. When the temperature is low in winter, plants should be watered less when they enter dormancy. After spring, with the increase of temperature, the dormancy of plants is gradually released, and watering can be gradually increased. Apply decomposed dilute liquid fertilizer every 10 day to half a month, and do not apply fertilizer in winter.

Under the general residential conditions, it is not difficult to make full use of space, plant dozens of pots of various cacti and arrange a small "cactus garden". At the turn of spring and summer, all kinds of cacti on the windowsill produce dazzling flowers. After work, people can rest under such conditions, which can not only eliminate fatigue, but also enjoy the natural beauty.
