How to water cactus

Watering time

The watering time of cactus should be divided into seasons. In summer, it is best to water in the early morning because of the hot weather

Watering in winter should be carried out at warm noon to reduce the difference between water temperature and air temperature and ensure the growth temperature of plants

Watering in spring and autumn can be carried out in the morning or at night

Amount of watering

When watering cactus in spring and autumn, just water it enough, that is, if the pot soil is wet, don't water it if it's not dry

Spray enough water around the basin in the hot season, so you should not only spray enough water around the basin in summer, but also pay attention to the high temperature

Watering should be controlled in winter to keep the soil slightly dry, or no watering in winter

Pay attention not to water the pots that have just been changed, and not to water the newly inserted cactus

How to fertilize cactus

First, appropriate fertilization should be applied during the growth period. The fertilizer can be rotten thick liquid fertilizer, which is applied every 15 days or so

After entering autumn, we should pay attention to controlling fertilizer and water. It only needs to be applied once a month to control the growth of branches and buds of cactus and prevent freezing death in winter

Secondly, pay attention not to let the fertilizer splash on the ball

When loading or changing pots, base fertilizer should be applied at the bottom of the basin, such as rotten oil meal, cake powder, bone meal, etc; In the later stage, top dressing should be carried out according to the growth of the plant. Rotten feathers, hoof horns, etc. can be used and added every two weeks

It should also be noted that fertilizer should not be applied with concentrated fertilizer. Instead, fertilizer can be mixed with other solutions and applied alternately. The amount of fertilizer and water should only cover the soil surface of the basin
