Cactus is a unique plant that is loved for its unique form and beautiful flowers. After the cactus blooms, some special treatment is required to ensure the healthy growth of the plant and the continued blooming of the flowers. At the same time, during the planting process, there are some unfavorable factors that need to be avoided to ensure the growth and development of the cactus. The following will detail how to treat cacti after flowering and the factors to avoid during planting.
Prune the buds: After the cactus blooms, prune the buds in time. When pruning, keep the bottom of the flower buds to avoid harming the plant. Pruned flower buds can promote the growth and development of new flower buds.
Fertilization: After the cactus has flowered, it needs to be fertilized at the right time. Organic fertilizers or compound fertilizers can be chosen for fertilization to provide the nutrients needed by the plants. However, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the concentration and frequency of fertilizer to avoid excessive fertilization and root burning.
Watering: After the cactus has flowered, keep the soil moist. But be careful not to overwater to avoid the occurrence of root rot. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to ventilation and maintain air circulation.
Pest control: After the cactus blooms, it is necessary to pay attention to the growth of the plants, and find and improve pests and diseases in time. Pest control can be carried out by means of biological, physical or chemical control. At the same time, fertilizer and water management should be strengthened to enhance the disease resistance of plants.
Overwatering: Overwatering can lead to high soil moisture, which can easily lead to diseases such as root rot. Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of watering during the planting process and keep the soil moist.
Over-fertilization: Over-fertilization can lead to high soil salinity, affecting the growth and development of plants. Therefore, it is necessary to control the concentration and frequency of fertilizer when fertilizing to avoid excessive fertilization.
Lack of light: Cactus need plenty of light to grow luxuriantly. When planting, choose a location with plenty of light. If there is not enough light, it will affect the growth and development of the plant and even cause the flowers to not open.
Unsuitable temperature: Cactus has certain requirements for temperature, and too high or too low a temperature will affect its growth and development. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the temperature reasonably according to the local climatic conditions and seasonal changes.
Poor ventilation: Maintaining good ventilation is beneficial for the growth and development of cactus. When planting, care should be taken to avoid over-dense planting to ensure air circulation.
Improper pest control: Pests and diseases are one of the important factors affecting the growth and development of cactus. In the planting process, we should pay attention to the growth of the plant, and find and improve the pests and diseases in time. Pest control can be carried out by means of biological, physical or chemical control. At the same time, fertilizer and water management should be strengthened to enhance the disease resistance of plants.
In short, when planting cactus, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the amount of watering and fertilization, choosing a location with sufficient light, maintaining good ventilation, and paying attention to temperature regulation and pest control, etc., through reasonable maintenance and management, the survival rate and yield of cacti can be improved, and people can be provided with healthier and more delicious vegetable choices.
