How to raise cacti during the rainy season?

Cacti and cactus balls are treated in the same way.

First question:

In the rainy season, you should shade the rain, bask in the sun more, water less (because the air humidity is very high, the pot will dry very slowly), use a toothpick to probe the dryness and humidity of the lower layer of soil, and appropriately cultivate (i.e., turn up the topsoil) to make the soil dry quickly. In fact, there is basically no need to water during the rainy season, and the moisture in the air is basically enough for cacti, and the thorns of cacti also have the function of absorbing moisture in the air.

Second question:

If obvious signs of decay have been found. It's going to be turned over immediately. Dig out the cactus and check the root system.

If it is already rotten, the corrupt tissue needs to be excised and as much as possible. After excision, carbendazim (available at a flower shop) is applied to the wound (paste). Place the wound in a well-ventilated place away from light and air dry, and the wound will shrink and dry and heal after about a week.

After spraying 100% vermiculite (available in florists), plant the cactus in it and the substrate can be slightly damp. Root in a dark and ventilated place. Keep the soil moist and free of waterlogging. After a month, there should be hairs coming out of the bottom.

The cactus is recultivated with granular soil of the right size, and the main principles of the substrate configuration are: good air permeability and water permeability. A good cultivation medium will reduce the difficulty of cultivation.

The optional materials are (more than 3mm particles): coarse sand, perlite, peat (a small amount), maifan stone, red jade soil, deer swamp soil, fairy soil, red brick powder, vermiculite, grass peat(a small amount), wheat husk carbon, blue stone, coal ash, phytophyld, volcanic stone, etc.

Cacti can grow normally without too many nutrients, but in fact, too much is a waste and even counterproductive. After potting, it can be used for 1 week to gradually see the light, and then resume normal management.

Take rainproof measures, otherwise the roots will rot when they encounter stagnant water, and there will be no rescue measures after the rotten roots.

If it comes out, if it is rotten, you have to remove the bad part and then dip it in plant ash and disinfect it and put it in a dry place to dry the wound I hope you can save your cactus ball The main thing is that there is a wound infected with germs

The reason is the same, they are all the same method, if it is a cactus, the chance of death is small, just cut off the bad lower end (along with part of the healthy part), according to the above method, to ensure healthy growth.

It is best to put it in a dry, ventilated place, because the cactus has a long life, it is easy to raise, do not add more water, water it once every one to two weeks, and it is best to put some sand or soot under the cactus.

In summer, the maintenance of the cactus should be properly shaded at noon to avoid it being exposed to strong light, and then it should be ventilated well, otherwise the environment is too stuffy, and the cactus is easy to be harmed by red spiders.

1. Proper shading

Cacti like to grow in a sunny environment, but if it is exposed to strong light, its stems and leaves may be burned, so to maintain it in summer, you need to properly shade it at noon, so that it is most suitable to receive light in the morning and afternoon, which is conducive to its safe summer.

2. Ventilation environment

Cactus is easily harmed by red spiders in the hot and dry season in summer, so at this time to maintain it, you also need to do a good job of ventilation measures, it is best to move it to a place with good air circulation, if there are insect pests, then you need to spray with drugs in time to prevent it, so that the cactus can grow healthily.

3. Sufficient moisture

Summer is the vigorous growth period of cactus, at this time the water evaporates quickly, so you also need to water the cactus more, it is best to water it once a day, it is most appropriate to keep the soil slightly moist, so as not to cause the cactus to wilt due to insufficient water, pay attention not to let the soil have stagnant water, otherwise the cactus is easy to rot roots.

4. Apply thin fertilizer

Raise cactus in summer, you also need to regularly top dressing it, generally apply 1-2 times a month, pay attention to fertilization to master the principle of thin fertilizer diligently, and fertilizer should be decomposed first, it is not appropriate to apply thick fertilizer or raw fertilizer to cactus, otherwise improper fertilization, cactus is easy to produce fertilizer.
