...... in a lively garden

The red roses grew beautifully, she wore a large water-red gorgeous robe, and the bees and butterflies circled around her all day and night, and even the people who passed by couldn't help but stop their steps and walk into her, always "so beautiful!" It's beautiful! It made the roses triumphant, and she felt that she was the most beautiful in the garden.

All this is the envy of the gray-green cacti. They were there all day long with a swarm of flies and mosquitoes, and when they saw them, they ran away and hid far away, lest the sharp and thick thorns would hurt and hurt them, and they often thought that the thorns of the rose were charming thorns, but their own thorns were tiresome thorns.

On a clear day, delicate roses will be drunk in the warm sun. The cactus is in a dark corner, he does not enjoy enough sun, because of its ugly appearance, people do not want to touch him with their hands, so he has to live a quiet and lonely life.

On this day, the cactus decides to make friends with roses.

Hello! Rose, would you like to make friends with me? ”

She glanced at the cactus, "I don't want to be friends with your dirty, smelly thing!" ”

God seems to have realized something, he may be sad that the cactus can't find a friend! And just like that, a terrible storm was about to come.

The next day, the wind blew very hard, and the rain was so fierce that it almost knocked down the little trees in the garden; The rain was also drowning the flowers and plants in the garden.

At this moment, the rose was so anxious that she panicked, she didn't know what to do, she was stunned, like a puppet, she felt like the sky was about to collapse. Seeing that the roses were almost unable to hold on, the cactus thought: how can I do if others are dying?

So, he pounced, grabbed the stunned rose, and carried her to safety.

Are you alright? ”

Oops, let go of my hands, dirty, annoying! ”

Listening to what Rose said to herself, the cactus thought indignantly: What an ungrateful fellow, when you encounter misfortune again, see if I can help you.

On the third day, a force 10 wind blew in the sky. The cacti held hands and snuggled together like a wall that would never fall, and they resisted the onslaught of the wind, because of their unwavering courage and mutual friendship, which allowed them to continue to live and see the beautiful "sunshine" again.

And what about roses? The beautiful rose lost her faith, her courage, her friendship, and she was finally uprooted by the wind, and at the moment when the rose died, she cried out for help, but no one would help her again.

At last, the wind stopped, the clouds dissipated, the sun came out again, the garden returned to its former calm, the sun shone down on the earth again, the roses were long gone, and the cacti raised their heads and looked up at the sun, and they bathed in the sun and sang merrily songs......

A pot of cacti and a pot of roses were put together by the owner, and the rose looked at the cacti beside her, and said angrily: "You ugly fellow don't hurry away, you have neither beautiful petals, nor beautiful leaves, nor a nice smell." I am in love'Symbol, all young people like to hold me in the palm of their hands, what qualifications do you have to be by my side?

The cactus listened to the words of the rose, and said slowly: "What you say is not false at all, from the outside, I am not at all inferior to you, but I have stayed in this world for much longer than you. Moreover, without the care of your master, you will die immediately, and I, no matter how bad the circumstances, I can live.

When Rose heard this, she was furious: "Shut your mouth, you are jealous, you are not allowed to look down on our roses like this!" ”

The cactus stopped talking, and the balcony fell silent.

For several days, for some reason, the owner did not come home. The rose felt so uncomfortable that he felt more and more that the moisture was drying up, and that its leaves were drooping, and that he was dizzy as if he were about to die. But the cactus next to it is still living happily.

Fortunately, the owner soon came back and watered the rose, and it survived.

Half a month later, the rose bloomed beautifully, and the owner was very happy to see it: "The rose has finally bloomed!" "For a few days in a row, the owner watered the roses more often. Roses, and soon a few more beautiful flowers bloomed.

Another morning, the owner happily approached the roses with a pair of scissors: "Today, I want to give these roses to the person I like." The rose was shocked, and before she could react, "click" and "click", the owner cut off the rose in a few clicks.

Rose was very sad, looked at the neighbor cactus, and saw that he was calm and relaxed, and he did not look surprised, neither growing green leaves, let alone flowers, except for a few brightly colored thorns, everything was still the same, and Rose forgot the last time the owner watered the flowers for him.

After some time, the owner walked in and looked at the roses, and said to himself: "This rose is useless after flowering, forget it, buy another pot next year!" So, he uprooted the rose and threw it into the trash can next to him.

In the end, only this humble pot of cacti remained on the balcony.

There are a lot of colors, red, pink, white, yellow... Pretty small.

There are many male flowers; bracts filamentous; 1 female flower, often sterile when cultivated, and the last one to mature is seen.

Capsule and seeds unknown. Flowering period is from June to September.

Native to India, it is cultivated in the north and south of China, and is often used as a hedge (south), and has the phenomenon of being wild, and the north is ornamental in the greenhouse.

The stems and leaves are mashed and applied externally to carbuncles and scabies, but they are poisonous and should be used with caution.

There are many reasons why human palms and cacti cannot bloom early, which can be divided into two aspects. First, it is related to germplasm, that is, the years required for flowering vary greatly between different species, from 2 to 3 years after sowing for a short period of time, and 20 to 30 years or longer for a long time. Second, it is related to sunlight, temperature, fertilizer and reproduction methods.

In order to promote its early flowering, the following aspects can be started.

1 Temperature. Generally, the suitable temperature for growth is 20 to 30, and a large temperature difference between day and night is maintained, such as 30 during the day and below 25 at night. Avoid the sultry heat that lasts in the summer, when the summer temperature is between 30 and 35, most species grow slowly, and when they exceed 38, they enter forced dormancy.

In winter, a room temperature of at least 5 should be maintained to avoid chilling injury.

2 Lighting. In the cultivation process, as long as the temperature conditions permit, and it is not a rainy season, the cactus should be put outdoors as much as possible for maintenance, because the outdoor ventilation is good, and the ultraviolet light is high, which is conducive to the growth of the plant and the early reproductive maturity.

3 Cultivating soil. For terrestrial cactus plants, 2 parts of loam, 2 parts of humus, 3 parts of river sand, and 1 part of old gray wall chips can be mixed.

4 Moisture. Watering must conform to the natural precipitation laws of its place of origin and achieve reasonable watering. In general, terrestrial varieties should strictly control watering during the dormant period to keep the potting soil slightly moist and not overly dry.

In winter, the room temperature reaches 15 or more, and it can be watered normally. Watering every half month when the room temperature is between 5 and 10, below 5 can stop the water completely. From April to June, it can be watered every 1 to 2 days.

From July to August, when the temperature exceeds 38 to 40, the plants are forced to dormant, so they should be ventilated, watered sparingly, and then resumed normal watering after the autumn cool.

5 Fertilizer. Increasing fertilization during the growing season can lead to plant growth and early flowering. Generally, when the temperature is higher than 32 and lower than 20, fertilization should be stopped to avoid fertilizer damage to the roots and cause plant death.

Fertilizer can be used chicken feces, horse and cow dung, cake fertilizer, bone meal, etc., diluted and watered after full decomposition. However, care should be taken not to splash the fertilizer on the plant, otherwise it is easy to cause the palm or sphere to rot. In addition, 0 3 potassium dihydrogen phosphate or heavy superphosphate solution can be appropriately poured.

Special emphasis should be placed on fertilizing newly potted plants, plants with poor growth, and plants with poor root development. Organic fertilizer that has not been fully fermented should not be watered, and broth and vegetable soup containing salt should not be watered.
