    Cactus is native to South America, where it is hot and dry all year round, so the water requirements for cacti are not strict, but breeding cacti still need to be watered, and watering is also methodical:

    1. Cactus watering can not be too much, the potting soil is too moist can lead to rotten roots of plants, so the potting soil should not be too wet, it should rather be dry than wet, dry and then watered.

    2. In order to avoid causing rotten roots, do not watering the newly planted cactus, just need to keep spraying 2-3 times a day, and slowly increase the amount of watering after half a month, and increase the watering after a month when the new roots grow.

    3. The watering of the cactus should be carried out in the early morning in the summer, and the watering should be carried out in the sunny weather conditions in the winter, and it can be in the morning and evening in the spring and autumn seasons.

    4. In general, do not pour water on the top of the cactus ball, otherwise after a long time, the cactus ball will appear unsightly spots, and it will become rotten in serious cases. To water the cactus, you need to water enough, and for this reason, you should often loosen the soil for the cactus to keep the water of the potting soil evenly absorbed.

    5、.Summer is the peak growth period of cactus, and the high temperature and heat at this time are the biggest obstacles for cacti, and the water storage becomes larger. It must be watered sufficiently, and watering should be carried out once in the morning and evening at 10 times, Zhong Wuyan and, watering is easy to cause burns of the sphere.

    During the rainy season, watering needs to be properly controlled. For cacti with a depression at the top, care should be taken not to pour water on the depression, otherwise it will cause the sphere to rot, and you should also pay attention when watering in the eveningWinter dormancy requires controlled watering, keeping the potting soil dry and slightly moist, and the lower the temperature, the more it is necessary to keep the potting soil dry.

    Winter watering should be done in the morning or noon, as the temperature gradually rises, the plants will come out of dormancy, and the number of watering can be increased.

    Plant cactus indoors, do not need to water too much, generally water once a month or so in summer, and try to water less or no in winter or rainy season to avoid rotten roots now; Besides, cactus is a drought-tolerant and light-loving plant, basking in the sun helps it grow and flower, as for fertilizer, you can add a little less, generally put 3-4 compound fertilizers in a pot [because it is a potted plant, you should put it less, avoid burning roots or growing wildly]; However, if you turn on the air conditioner, it is better to move the cactus outside.

    It is originally drought-tolerant, don't water it too often from the roots every time, because it will rot after a long time! Just water the sand from the roots of the cactus bulbs. Once every four days! Once a week when the weather is not dry!

    I also like to grow cactus, and I grow them myself, and the flowers are beautiful.

    If you don't water, you'll die.

    First of all, I need to educate you.

    Why can [Cactus] survive in the harsh environment of the desert?

    It's true that the desert is dry, but there's an underground river running underneath the desert. It is because the cactus is rooted in the deep desert that it absorbs water around the groundwater to provide the cactus with its survival.

    The cactus is not afraid of the sun, but that doesn't mean its roots don't need water. Your potted plants have no groundwater, and you don't water the soil when it dries, how can you provide the survival needs of the cactus?

    Therefore, the argument that the cactus is left at home and that it is not scientific to leave it alone.

    It is also [completely false] to say that it is watered once every few weeks or once every few months, because the evaporation rate is different depending on the climate, temperature, and temperature. How can it be so accurate? When to water? Look more at the color of the soil.

    First of all, it's not without watering, there is only one plant in the world that can go without watering - air pineapples. Cacti still need some watering.

    There are many reasons for drought tolerance, the main ones are as follows:

    1. The roots are very sensitive to water, and once they feel the presence of water, they will absorb it quickly, and the roots are very developed in order to absorb more water. In addition, the roots of some varieties also have the function of storing water, and have evolved into a tubular taproot like a radish.

    2. The stem is generally succulent, has the function of storing water, and is also the main organ of photosynthesis.

    3. Leaves, evolved into thorns, which are intended to reduce water loss caused by transpiration, and can absorb moisture in the air through the pores on the thorns. In addition, the thorns of some varieties also have the effect of shading the sun to avoid sunburn to the mother.
