How did the cactus grow?

Most cactus flowers are easy to split into seedlings or bulbs, and if they are pulled down and planted alone, they are easy to survive. For some varieties that are not easy to divide balls, they can be forced to breed balls by cutting off. That is, the upper part of the stem of the mother plant is cut off (the cut part can be used for grafting or cutting), so that it loses its upper growing point and can no longer grow upwards. Strengthening water and fertilizer management can grow new bulbs.

Most cactus cultivated at home are cuttage propagation, and the survival rate is extremely high. Cutting time can be in spring, summer and autumn. When cutting, young stems should be selected. After cutting the stem from the mother plant, it should be dried in a semi-cool and ventilated place for 5-7 days. When the incision is dry and the cortex shrinks slightly inward to form a film, it should be cut again. The cutting length is 10 cm and the cutting depth is 3 cm. After 20 days, the cuttings will take root.
