My cactus is dying, what should I do?! I ve been raising them for 3 years, and I m asking for help!

Temperature: Cactus likes high temperature and dry environment, and the room temperature in winter should be kept above 20 during the day and not less than 10 at night. If the temperature is too low, it is easy to cause root rot.

Light: Cactus requires full sunlight, but it cannot be exposed to strong light in summer, and needs proper shade. Indoor cultivation can be irradiated with light to make it grow robustly.

Watering: The watering time is early morning in summer, before noon in sunny weather in winter, and 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.

Follow the above methods and it should work.

My family has also had such a situation, what kind of disease do you have, what can be done, let's change it.

Maybe the computer has a radiation effect, or maybe our climate is not suitable for it, after all, it is a desert plant! Sorry, I don't understand it either.

Replace the soil in the pot with the yellow sand on the mountain, and it's OK. There must be less water.

Although cactus balls are more drought-tolerant and barren-resistant, it is still necessary to pay attention to the following points.

The first thing to do is to prepare the soil for planting, preferably on suburban farmland.

Secondly, it is necessary to pay attention to watering a small amount of water every once in a while (about 10 days), not too much water, and it is advisable to make the soil slightly moist.

Finally, put it in the sun for a certain amount of time every day to get the energy to survive.

The underside of the cactus ball is yellow, generally because of too much water, it should be dried thoroughly before watering, and no water can accumulate.

The soil generally likes sandy granular soil, don't water too often, cacti are basically watered to death, it is best to dry and water thoroughly, and bask in the sun.

Malnutrition Excessive hydration.

At the beginning of raising flowers, many flower friends have had or seen the tragedy of others raising cactus balls to death. Most flower lovers know that cactus has a nickname: "lazy plant", because it does not need much care and is favored by many flower friends.

After all, it is a green plant that can survive in the desert, and even if it is cultivated, its physique should not be weak, so why is it so easily raised to death? Next, please follow the footsteps of the great detective Xiaofei to find out the truth!

Clue 1: Improper watering.

Novice flowers, most of them do not grasp the scale of watering, a new pot of beautiful cactus, I can't wait to water it once in half an hour, not a day or two without watering, always worried about whether it will be short of water and grow badly, carelessly, the villain ball was watered to death.

It is important to know that the cactus is a desert plant, it is very resistant to drought, and likes a dry environment, a lot of watering will make it soak in water, and in serious cases, it will be "watered to death" alive

Clue 2: Damaged roots.

Sometimes, flower friends are innocent, and the reason why the roots of some cactus balls are damaged is caused by merchants in the process of transplanting or potting.

Another cause of root damage is overwatering. At this time, we should pay attention to water control, and you can also choose to apply a good nutrient solution, which is rich in trace elements, which can repair and develop the roots of the cactus and enhance its vitality.

Clue 3: Lack of sunlight.

Cactus are sun-facing plants that love sunlight and warm environments, while many people keep cacti next to their computers. Generally, the environment in which the computer is placed is a relatively low-light environment, and the cactus that survives in the low-light environment for a long time will also cause it to languish or even die because it is not exposed to sufficient sunlight!

The above three clues are the reason why many people raise cacti to death, although cacti are desert plants, but many of the ones you buy are cultivated in greenhouses, and they do not have the resistance of the physique of those cactus balls in the desert, and the physique is weak.

If you want to keep the cactus alive, in addition to paying attention to the above three points, you can also choose to apply liquid fertilizer, which is rich in trace elements, which can promote the root development of green plants, enhance the stress resistance of green plants, and make your cactus have more tenacious vitality.

Pay attention to raising a good cactus:

1. Use a tile pot or pad a layer of tiles in the pot to give the root system a relatively large breathing space, so that it is not easy to rot the roots; I really couldn't find the tiles, so I had to punch holes around the basin for ventilation, so that the cactus balls would not rot easily. Pay attention to the selection of pots should not be too large, too large pot soil is not easy to dry, is not conducive to the growth of cactus root system.

2. Cultivate with sandy loam soil, because such soil is relatively loose and breathable; During the growing season, fertilizer is applied every twenty days until early October; In the middle of October, it is necessary to hold water moderately so that it can survive the winter smoothly.

3. The principle of watering is not to dry or water, and to water thoroughly; Do not overwater or go without watering for a long time.

4. During the winter, it should be moved indoors at 8 degrees, and if it is a grafting ball or a golden amber ball with a triangular arrow, it should be placed indoors above 12 degrees.

5. Cactus is a light-loving plant, so let it bask in the sun as much as possible, and it is not possible to see sunlight for a long time. Only the golden amber ball should not be exposed to the sun in summer. If there is not enough sunlight in the winter, it will be difficult for the cactus to bloom in the spring of the following year.

Precautions for cactus maintenance.

1. Watering. Everyone knows that cacti should not be watered too much, otherwise it can easily cause root rot. However, although the cactus is drought tolerant, this does not mean that it rejects humid environments. Especially in the summer growing season, when the temperature is high, the cactus will have more water requirements.

Watering should be carried out in the morning and evening, and if it is hot at noon, watering will easily cause spherical lesions. And if you encounter rainy weather, you should water less appropriately. When watering, avoid pouring water into the depression of the sphere, so as not to cause the sphere to rot.

Winter is the dormant period of the cactus, and the potting soil should be kept slightly dry. When the weather warms up, gradually increase the amount of watering as the temperature rises slowly.

2. Fertilization. Cacti are more resistant to barrenness, and many people think that potted cacti do not need to be fertilized. In fact, during the growing season, cacti should be applied with a well-rotted thin liquid fertilizer every half a month or so, so that the cactus can grow healthy and flower. But it should be noted that you should not apply too much fertilizer, too much fertilizer will also lead to no flowering.

When fertilizing, it should be slowly applied along the wall of the pot to avoid contaminating the fertilizer water on the sphere, otherwise it will also cause the sphere to rot.

3. Illumination. Cactus loves light, and should be placed in a place with sufficient light when maintaining it indoors, and it will not bloom if it is in a place without direct light for a long time.

4. Soil. Cactus does not have high requirements for potting soil, and grows well in soil with good drainage and air permeability, and avoids clay soil.

5. Temperature. Cactus balls are resistant to high temperatures, not cold, and are prone to diseases when the indoor temperature is lower than 5 in winter.

In order to avoid the loss of nutrients from the cue ball, it is necessary to remove the cue ball as soon as possible, otherwise it will also cause the cue ball to not bloom.

Cactus likes high temperature and dry environment, and the room temperature in winter should be kept above 20 during the day and not less than 10 at night. If the temperature is too low, it is easy to cause root rot, but if the temperature is too high, it is easy to cause scale insect damage. Light cactus requires sufficient sunlight, but in summer it cannot be exposed to strong light, and it needs to be properly shaded.

Indoor cultivation can be irradiated with light to make it grow robustly. Soil cactus is suitable for the growth of well-drained sandy loam soil, and artificial culture soil is mostly used for indoor cultivation, which is usually prepared with a mixture of peaty soil and fine sand. It can also be planted with crushed pine needles and fine sand mixed with prepared culture soil.

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.

When fertilizing cactus balls, a small amount of basal fertilizer, such as horseshoe slices, bean cakes or sesame sauce residues, should be applied to the bottom of the pot. During the growth period, the fermented organic fertilizer liquid fertilizer (concentration of 20% is appropriate) is watered every half month, and the fertilizer concentration should not be too large. Pest controlIn a high-temperature, poorly ventilated environment, pests and diseases are prone to occur.

The disease can be sprayed with carbendazim or tobuzin; Pests can be sprayed with dimethoate. Whatever kind of spraying is done, it should be done outdoors.

Cactus is a light-loving and drought-tolerant plant, if you want to plant it well, you can't water it too diligently, generally about 10 days in summer, watering once in 2 or 3 months in winter, in summer, autumn can be put outdoors to give it sun, and other times put it on the windowsill where indoor sunlight can shine [more sun is conducive to the growth and flowering of cactus], pay special attention to not put it in the air-conditioned room, and do not water on southerly days, these two situations are easy to cause rotten roots, and then the soil should be breathable and not waterlogged [it is best to use coarse sand, soil, A mixture of burned briquette ash is planted

1。It may be a problem with the soil. No sand and gravel make it impossible to breathe.

2。There may be a problem with the pot. There is too much water. The water can't flow.

3。It may be that there is a problem with the cactus you bought it, and the roots did not grow well. It's stuck in the soil (I guess that's why your cactus).

4。It may be human. It's possible that someone has moved your cactus too much. There is also a possibility that you have fallen to the ground and gone up.
