Gymnocalycium baldianum

• 1. Soil

  The soil for planting cactus balls must be selected with good permeability and fertile and loose sandy soil. We can first lay a layer of about 3 centimeters thick small stones in the basin for drainage, and add an appropriate amount of limestone to the soil.

  2. Temperature

  Cactus is also known as a necessary plant for lazy people because it is not afraid of light and temperature and can grow tenaciously under any conditions. However, cacti prefer high temperatures and grow in dry environments. In winter, the temperature should be maintained above 20 degrees to prevent root rot caused by low temperatures.

  3. Watering

  The watering of cacti should follow the principle of "no drying, no watering". It originally belonged to subtropical regions and can withstand drought. However, during its growth period, we also need to water it in a timely manner to keep the soil moist. In summer, when it is hot, we can often sprinkle water to enhance the humidity of the air.

  4. Fertilization

  During the growth process of cacti, nutrients are essential. We need to apply nitrogen fertilizer to the cactus once a month, as it has a strong ability to store nutrients; If you want cacti to bloom, you can apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in moderation.
