Cactus transplanting - prepare pot soil

Proper pot soil is necessary when transplanting cactus

Narcissus said that the flowerpot needs to be determined according to the size of the plant. When choosing, be careful not to choose a too large flowerpot. A large flowerpot is not conducive to drainage and is easy to lead to cactus rotten roots. Because the requirement of fertilizer for cactus breeding is not very high, it can be satisfied by choosing a smaller flowerpot. It's best to have small holes on the flowerpot, and the color and shape can be determined according to your preferences

If the soil is basically good in air permeability and drainage, ordinary garden soil and some coarse sand can be used. The soil can be disinfected before transplanting

Transplanting method of cactus

When transplanting, you need to take out the plants and then replace them with new pots

First, take out the plant. In order to prevent being stabbed and injured when taking the plant, you can first wear thick plastic gloves, then gently clamp the cactus with pliers, gently tap the flower pot, or shovel the soil. When the soil is loose, take out the plant. Remember not to hurt the root

The second is to trim the plants taken out and remove part of the old roots. Then plant it in a new flower pot, fix the plant, and then cover it with soil. Be careful not to cover the plant. After covering the soil, gently compact it, and then wipe the flowerpot clean

The last is maintenance. The cactus just transplanted needs to be watered once, just keep the soil moist. Placed in a cool and ventilated place, new roots can grow in almost a month, and then they can be managed normally< span>
