    Pour water into the tray – it's not good to do that. Because cacti like the soil to breathe, imagine that if you pour water into the tray, the bottom of the pot will not be breathable, and the lower part of the pot will rot for a long time.

    Watering from the edge of the pot – this is also not advisable. Because the edge of the pot is the junction between the soil and the pot, there is a large gap between the soil and the edge of the pot when it is time to water, so that the watering will quickly flow out of the bottom of the pot, and the roots of the flowers in the pot cannot absorb it at all. This will cause the root system of the flower to dry up and die without water for a long time (in addition, if your cactus is a variety with many fine burrs, such as "golden amber", etc., you should not water it on your head, as the water will easily rot on the ball).

    Proper watering – water around the base of the flower trunk. The method is to pour a little water to moisten the pot surface soil first, and then water until the hole at the bottom of the pot leaks slightly.

    Digression: People often say "dry and watered", in fact, it is not to wait for all the flowers and soil to dry before watering, so that the flowers do not die is enough to choke. The realm of watering is "watering through without leakage", that is:

    Watering to the bottom of the pot, just enough not to leak out of the bottom hole, the roots absorb enough nutrients in the water without loss. In fact, it is not difficult, as long as the same pot of flowers is groped for a long time, it is easy to master the good amount.

    Watering cactus requires a dry environment, and for fear of water accumulation in the potting soil, it is usually necessary to keep the potting soil "dry and wet". It is best to use water that has been dried. Spray a new high-fat film on the soil surface to moisturize and retain moisture, prevent water evaporation, spray on the surface of the plant can form a protective film, and spray strong stems at the same time, which can make its leaves thick, fresh and tender, and lush plants.

    At the same time, it can improve disaster resistance.

    Do cacti need total watering?

  7. Anonymous users2024-01-30

    1. In spring and autumn, the cactus is usually watered once every two weeks, because the spring weather is bright and the climate is warm, but the moisture content in the air is not low, and the cactus can absorb the moisture and nutrients in the air through its leaves (thorns), so watering once every two weeks is enough, and excessive will be drowned.

    2. In summer, the weather is hot, the climate is dry, and the moisture in the air is also less, so the cactus is generally watered once a week, and the climate is dry and can be watered once in 5-6 days, if it is an office potted cactus, and grows in an air-conditioned environment, it is best to water it once in about 10 days.

    3. The weather is cold, and the air is filled with fog, so the cactus at this time is not short of water, but the soil will still have water evaporation, in order to ensure that the root system has enough water, it is generally watered once every 2 months, and watered twice in a winter. Special reminder to pay attention to the warmth and cold protection of cacti in winter. It is a plant that is afraid of cold and heat.

    4. The watering time is better in the early morning in summer, and it should be carried out in the afternoon in sunny weather in winter, and it can be morning and evening in spring and autumn. In general, do not pour water from the top, otherwise there will be unsightly spots on the sphere for a long time. In general, watering must be done sufficiently, for which the soil must be loosened frequently, so that the potting soil can easily and evenly absorb enough water.

    5. Summer is the growth period of cactus, with high temperature and high water demand. It must be fully watered, and it should be carried out in the morning and evening when the temperature is low, and it is hot at noon, and watering can easily cause burns to the sphere. In the season of high temperature and rainy season, watering should also be moderate.

    For those cacti with a depression at the top, be careful not to pour water into the depression to avoid causing rot, and even more so in the evening.

    6. During the winter dormancy period, watering should be controlled to keep the potting soil not too dry, and the lower the temperature, the more it is necessary to keep the potting soil dry. Adult bulbs are more drought tolerant than small seedlings. Winter watering should be done in the morning on a sunny day.

    As the temperature rises, the plants will gradually come out of dormancy, and the frequency and amount of watering will gradually increase.

    The amount of watering can be determined according to the growth state of cactus plants: during the vigorous growth period, the potting soil should be kept moist, and there should be no lack of water, but no water should be accumulated; When the temperature is low and the growth is slow, the amount of watering should also be reduced; Watering should be stopped during the dormant period; Plants with aging roots should be watered sparingly.

    Appropriate watering according to soil quality: sandy soil with poor water retention performance can be watered appropriately; The culture soil with good water retention performance should not be watered too much, and after a watering, it should be watered only when the potting soil is close to dry.

    Watering according to climate, environment and other conditions: watering should be moderated in the rainy season or when the air humidity is high; In dry weather, the potting soil should be kept moist; The film cover with good moisturizing performance should be watered less; Open-air cultivation can be properly watered with more water.

    The best time for watering is in the evening or morning.

    1. Spring and autumn, this is usually watered once every two weeks, because the spring weather is bright and the climate is warm, but the moisture content in the air is not low, and the cactus can absorb the moisture and nutrients in the air through its leaves (thorns), so watering once every two weeks is enough, and excessive will be drowned.

    3. In winter, the weather is cold and the air is filled with fog, so the cactus at this time is not short of water, but the soil will still have water evaporation, in order to ensure that the root system has enough water, it is generally watered once every 2 months, and it is almost the same when watered twice in a winter.

    Cactus prefers high temperature and dry environment, and the room temperature in winter should be kept above 20 during the day and not less than 5 at night. If the temperature is too low, it is easy to cause root rot. In winter, when the temperature in the north is low, watering should be stopped and placed indoors above 5.

    Depending on what type of cactus you belong to, there are also winter dormant and summer dormant. So so.

    The water is cut off in winter.

    It was not until around the end of February that water was stored. Because dormant plants don't need much water, it's a waste if you water them. If you are really worried, when the sun is shining, put water in the pot with the bottom of the pot up to a fifth of the height, then put the pot down and take it out for 5 10 seconds.

    Watering should be done in the morning, and the interval between two waterings should be more than 1 month.

    Cactus watering should be slow and many times, so that the soil is fully soaked, and the water can flow out from the outlet at the bottom of the pot, not from the beginning to the end like watering flowers, but from the side, and often bask in the sun, generally: about 10 days in summer, and once in 2 or 3 months in winter [the appropriate time for indoor planting is a little longer].

    Cacti are more resistant to drying, so they don't need to be watered as often. Watering too often will drown it. Generally, after seeing that the soil is dry, it should be watered a little, but if it is watered, it must be watered thoroughly, otherwise it will just stay on the surface of the soil.

    Generally, watering every one to two weeks is sufficient. It mainly depends on daily observations.
