1. Whether pouring is required

Many people believe that since cactus can survive in a very dry desert, it must not need water. In fact, this view is not reasonable. This just shows that the cactus itself is more drought resistant, not that it does not need water for its growth. However, on the whole, it needs much less water than other plants

2. How to water

As for the specific amount and frequency of watering, it is best to regulate and control according to its variety and season. Generally speaking, it grows vigorously in spring, coupled with the rapid rise of temperature, so the demand is large, and water should be poured about once a week. It will be discussed according to the situation in summer. Some varieties are dormant in summer, so water should be controlled at this time; There are varieties that are not dormant at this stage, so their growth will still be relatively prosperous, so the watering times should be more than that in spring, about once every three to four days

If there is excessive water shortage, the cactus is likely to turn yellow and dry. In autumn, it is similar to that in spring, and the law of watering is basically the same. In winter, it also depends on the variety. Some varieties are dormant in winter and should be watered less. Some varieties do not sleep in winter, but it depends on the temperature. If the temperature is above 15 ℃, it can be poured normally; If the temperature is too low, then do not pour or reduce
