Cactus is a clump of fleshy shrubs, a wide variety, often grown in the dry environment of the desert, now many people like to breed cactus, how to raise thornless cactus? What do I need to pay attention to in the process of breeding?
1. Temperature. Cacti are generally found in dry desert environments, and the temperature suitable for cacti to grow is 15-40 degrees Celsius.
The optimal range is 20-30 degrees Celsius. In the northern region.
Cultivation can be done by using the plastic film cultivation method to ensure the healthy growth of cactus. In places with high summer temperatures, the temperature conditions are sufficient, so they can be grown outdoors.
2. Moisture. Cacti can survive in a dry and water-scarce environment, indicating that cacti do not have high water requirements. Cactus is very drought tolerant and afraid of stagnant water, so don't add too much water when breeding, pay attention to the loose and breathable soil, and watering should penetrate into the soil and don't cause stagnant water.
Cacti should not be watered just after planting, and then watered after taking root and germinating.
3. Illumination. The temperature in summer is relatively high, whether it is in the first breeding temperature is not higher than the desert area, the light time is relatively long, which can meet the needs of cactus growth. Cultivating cacti outdoors has a long light time, and if it is cultivated indoors, it is necessary to create a special growth space and light intensity.
Be adequate. The space should be sealed, the temperature and humidity should be sufficient, and it should not be placed in a dark corner.
4. Soil. Bonsai.
Cacti should be planted in well-drained, air-permeable, calcareous sandy or sandy loam soil. Before potting, the soil should be selected, and the sandy soil with the soil aggregate structure is not too tight, and an appropriate amount of plant ash should be added.
Replenishes the plant's post-planting needs for potassium and minerals and improves the soil. The water in the soil should not be too much, and the water should be appropriate.
5. Fertilization. After planting cacti, it is necessary to fertilize, organic fertilizer and top dressing. Basal fertilizer is applied to the soil during land preparation.
Top dressing is to fertilize the cactus when it grows to about 6 cm, and it is also fertilized after harvest to promote the cactus to continue to germinate. Be careful not to use any fertilizer during the dormant period. Choose a fertilizer that is suitable for the healthy growth of cactus, such as Trim water-soluble fertilizer.
How do you raise a thornless cactus in summer? After planting, cacti need to control the humidity such as light, moisture, and temperature. Appropriate amount of top dressing, frequent weeding, to prevent weeds and cacti from competing for fertilizer, but also play a role in loosening the soil and breathing.
There will be pests and diseases in the growth of cactus, and targeted drug methods should be selected for pest control, so as to solve the problem of cactus pests at one time.

<>1, the right soil, cactus life of the soil permeability and permeability must be good, we can choose humus or nutrient soil when configuring the soil for it, according to the ratio of 1:1 plus the common river sand finch reputation, cinder or perlite granular soil, so that the preparation of the soil is not only good air permeability and water permeability but also very nutritious, very suitable for the healthy growth of cactus.
2. Watering, the most water is needed in summer, and it is best to water it in the morning and evening. Do not water at noon, it is easy to burn the leaves. If it's a rainy day, then the amount of water can't be too large.
As the temperature decreases, so does the need for moisture. The general principle is to dry and pour thoroughly.
3. Fertilization. You can use cooked soybean cake water, egg water, etc., and you can prepare it yourself. However, care should be taken to add enough water and the concentration should not be too high.
It is mainly used in spring and autumn, once every 20 days, and once every half a month if the growth rate is fast. Be careful about the time, preferably early in the morning or late in the evening.
4. Reduce the temperature difference, compared to the temperature difference, the temperature is less important, because the cactus is both cold and high temperature resistant. However, if the temperature difference is too large, it is easy to slow down the growth rate. Especially in winter, if the temperature difference is very large, the cactus may stop growing directly, and even die in severe cases.
Therefore, it is necessary to regulate and reduce the temperature difference.
5. Good ventilation and light, in the process of maintaining cactus, it is also very important to ensure that its growth environment is well ventilated. If the ventilation is not good, no matter how good the permeability of the soil is watered, it is not easy to dry out, and the potting soil has been in a state of siltation for a long time, and it is easy to have rotten roots, so only the water flow in the potting soil with good ventilation will be evaporated, and there will be no rotten roots if it is not burned.

Cacti should be repotted once a year because the nutrients and impurities in the soil will be depleted, just like people living in an environment where they need to clean their rooms regularly. If you don't repot it all year round, the root system of the cactus will rot and the color of the cactus will begin to become dull.
The temperature is very high in summer, for the maintenance of cactus, or watering is the most critical, you need to water once every 3 days, and in the summer it is recommended to spray the cactus stem with finch water twice, once in the morning and once in the evening, so that it can have a better growth and increase its ornamentality.
In the autumn of cactus farming, we should pay attention to the water temperature and water quality, the water is neutral or slightly pH acidic, and it is best to use tap water for two days before use. In addition, it is best to be close to the indoor temperature when watering, and it is more important to pay attention to potted edible cacti in cold areas in the north.

No way. It's not that the cactus doesn't have leaves, but that the leaves have degenerated, that is, the thorns that grow on it, and the thorns of the cactus are the ones that stop rolling and its leaves, but the leaves have lost their photosynthetic ability and are only protective.
Cacti are native to desert areas, and live in high temperatures and lack of water, so they continue to evolve in order to survive. The wide leaves are easy to lose water in this environment, in order to reduce the evaporation of the water in the plant, the leaves of the cactus began to get smaller and smaller, and coupled with the selection and elimination of the natural environment, the leaves of the cactus eventually degenerated into the current state, thorns one by one.
The leaves degenerate into thorns, which on the one hand preserve the water in the body, and on the other hand, they also form a tool for self-protection against other animals from gnawing. However, in order for plants to survive, they need to photosynthesize, so the stem of the cactus becomes a wide flat and simple shape, increasing the area of photosynthesis.
In order to survive, plants will always find ways to adapt to the environment in which they are located, which is Darwin's theory of evolution, natural selection, survival of the fittest. Perhaps the cacti at that time never imagined that many years later someone would plant it as a potted flower in all corners of the world.
1 Temperature. Generally, the suitable temperature for growth is 20 degrees to 30 degrees, and a large temperature difference between day and night is maintained, such as 30 degrees during the day and below 25 degrees at night. Avoid the sweltering heat that lasts in summer, when the summer temperature is between 30 and 35 degrees, most species grow slowly, and when they exceed 38 degrees, they are forced to go into dormancy. >>>More
When the clothes come into contact with cactus-like plants, sometimes the needles on the clothes will be brought to the clothes, and they must be removed in time. The larger needles can be easily removed, and the smaller ones must be slowly removed with adhesive tape or chewing gum, preferably several times, a few times, and the back of your hand is scratched over it.
No. But many people think of euphorbiaceae as cactiaceae, which is dangerous, and Euphorbiaceae is poisonous. Although it is not easy to cause death, it is easy to be poisoned.
The unicorn cactus is suitable for growing in an environment with sufficient sunlight and a temperature of 22-28 degrees. The water requirement is not high, generally when the room temperature is 15-18 degrees, you can water it every 10 days or so. The requirements for fertilizer are not high, and it is enough to apply about 15% of fully decomposed alum fertilizer water once a month during the general growing season. >>>More
