1. SoilThe 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. TemperatureCactus 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. WateringThe 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. FertilizationDuring 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. - QUICK VIEW

Cactaceae is a large family of succulent plants that originated in the Americas and many species have been widely cultivated.Cacti are so famous that some people use "cacti" as a synonym for succulent plants, indicating the high popularity of this family in people's minds. succulent plants usually have thick water storage tissues to cope with drought environments. Some use leaves to store water, while others use stems to store water. Cactus plants choose the latter and can change the shape of their stems in unexpected ways. Moreover, this family preserves many key species in its evolutionary path, allowing us to see how it gradually evolves from an ordinary tree to various uniquely shaped succulent plants.The most primitive surviving cactus family plant is the Pereskia genus.Their stems are not very fleshy, their leaves are intact, and thorns have also appeared.The coexistence of leaves and thorns indicates that the widely circulated belief that the leaves of cacti have degenerated into thorns is incorrect.The second step in the development of the cactus family towards drought growth is to shorten and thicken the stem, resulting in fleshy transformation. The leaves degenerate into granulation like structures and are prone to shedding, only existing briefly at the top of the tender stem.For example, the Austroylindropuntia subunita is one of the representatives.The well-known genus Opuntia further flattens its stems on this basis to expand the area of photosynthesis.At the same time, the apical buds of the stem also lose their ability to sustain growth, thus forming patches of "palms". In this step, some types of stems become spherical, such as the football bonnieae, which can better store water.The third step is for the leaves to completely degenerate and disappear, and the surface of the stem protrudes outward, forming warts and longitudinal edges.Some types of warts become large and long, resembling leaves, such as Leuchtenbergia principis, Ariocarpus agavoides, and Astrophytum caput medusae. They do indeed use the protrusions of their stems to perform the function of abandoned leaves, making people exclaim, "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?".Step four, this step formed the core group of cactus family today, with the vast majority of species emerging here, developing various spherical and large columnar species, and even entering tropical rainforests twice to begin climbing and epiphytic life.This includes the familiar Echinopsis oxygona and Celeus repardus.As the species enter the rainforest, the longitudinal edges on the stem gradually decrease. For example, the measuring stick (Selenacereus undatus) decreases to 3 edges, while Epiphyllum oxyphyllum and Schlumbergera truncata decrease to 2 edges.So both Epiphyllum and Cactus appear to have flaky stems, but in reality - QUICK VIEW

Short haired pillsThis type of cactus is called "short haired ball", also known as "longevity ball". It is originally from South America and is widely cultivated worldwide. It is currently the most cultivated cactus plant in the family Cactus, and is also the original species of the series of "colored grass balls" (such as the famous Schick's cactus ball, which is a hybrid of various short haired balls). Although it is a common product, it has a good reputation among flower enthusiasts.The plant is not largeThe plant of Short Hair Pill is not large, initially in a cylindrical shape, but only becomes a long elliptical shape after many years of growth, with a height of 20-25cm. The diameter of the sphere is 12-15cm, and it is dark green with regular edges distributed on it. There are short gray brown thorns on the edges, which have regressed or semi degraded and will not prick people.Perennial succulent plants with a lifespan of up to 80 years are very suitable for home cultivation and ornamental purposes. Both ground and potted plants perform well.The flowers are very beautifulShort haired ball is the ancestor of some colorful grass balls with large and colorful flowers. The flowers are not as gorgeous as their descendants, but they are also very beautiful. The flower stem is high and pulled out from the top of the ball, like a brush. The flowers open at the end, in the shape of a trumpet flower, with a diameter of about 10cm. The petals have 2-3 layers and are arranged in a lotus shaped pattern, arranged neatly like lotus flowers. The main colors of the flowers are white and pink (also known as white grass and pink grass), which are very clean and immortal, bright and not vulgar, and have a good ornamental effect.Fragrance overflows everywhereIn addition to "beauty", the flowers of the short haired ball still have a fragrance. During the blooming process, the flowers release a very fragrant fragrance, which is a very pleasant and fragrant fragrance. It is strong and not turbid, with a distant fragrance that can be smelled from tens of meters away. When planted on a closed balcony indoors, the whole room can smell that fragrance when the flowers bloom, which is fragrant and fragrant.Flowering is very awesomeSome cacti are difficult to grow and bloom, such as the "Golden Tiger" that office experts love to grow. You may not see the flowers even after ten or eight years of cultivation.Short haired marbles are varieties that bloom very diligently. They start to bloom as soon as the temperature rises in late spring and can still be seen blooming in late autumn. Although each flower only blooms for one or two days, it blooms quickly and can bloom many times from late spring to autumn.Even small balls can bloomSome cacti need to be raised to a large size in order to bloom. Short haired balls will bloom during the seedling stage. If the diameter of the ball is greater than 3cm, it has the ability to bloom. The larger the ball, the more flowers it will have. After four or five years of cultivation, mature plants can even bloom dozens of flowers at the same time. A group of pink flowers covering the plant is still very spectacular.Easy maintenanceOf course, to achieve this effect, two things must be done well.Firstly, the amount of light must not be reduced. Cactus plants prefer sunlight and only by exposing themselves to more sunlight can they grow vigorously and bloom more.On the contrary, a lack of light can easily lead to elongation or even failure to bloom.Secondly, nutrients should also keep up.If raised in poverty, it may only bloom 2-3 times a year. However, during the planting process, especially in spring and summer, frequent application of flowering promoting fertilizers such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate can make it bloom diligently.It can be nurtured for decades, and the more it is nurtured, the more beautiful it becomesShort haired balls are a highly popular variety in the cactus industry, equivalent to a "juice balcony" in roses. Cactus enthusiasts almost have one in their hands, not only because of its high appearance and frequent flowering, but also because it is very adaptable to the environment, easy to care for, and does not require extensive experience in flower cultivation. Novice flower enthusiasts can also cultivate it in a beautiful state by mastering its habits.The only drawback of short haired pills is that they are not cold resistant. They need to survive in an environment above 5 ℃ in winter. In southern China, Fujian and other places, they can be raised in the open for the winter. It is best for other flower enthusiasts to move back indoors in winter and not outdoors.I like loose and well drained nutrient soil, just raise it like a succulent plant, sunbathe more, wait for the soil to completely dry before watering, it is very drought resistant, and can be watered once every two weeks. - QUICK VIEW

How to raise peony and cactus balls1. The method of wateringSummer and autumn are dry and well watered!In winter, if it dries thoroughly, it may not necessarily be well watered. Control the amount of water!So it is recommended to water every time it is dry (especially when the temperature is low in winter). To determine the standard, stick a toothpick to see if it is dry, or hold a flowerpot to feel the weight.2. Watering timeIn summer, watering is usually done every 5-10 days;2-3 weeks in spring and autumn;Once a month in winter, if the temperature is below 15 degrees, it is recommended to cut off water (the temperature varies in different regions, judgment criteria, dry and pour thoroughly).3. Watering methodIn spring and autumn, it is best to spray in the rain. In summer, it is best to soak in a basin because the spraying is done from the surface of the soil downwards. If the roots come into contact with less water, it is easy to leak out. Over time, it is easy to dry out and eventually die, while soaking in a basin is different. From bottom to top, the roots are easily exposed to water vapor.4. VentilationPeony Cactus grows better in well ventilated environments, as poor ventilation slows down the evaporation of water and increases the likelihood of breeding diseases and pests. It prefers to grow in dry environments, and poor ventilation can lead to root rot, which in severe cases can also cause the sphere to rot.5. IlluminationThe Peony Golden Cactus has a high demand for light, and it needs to be placed in a well lit area for daily maintenance to ensure a longer daylight period.However, in the summer when the sun is strong, it is necessary to shade it appropriately to avoid sunburn. At other times, it can be placed in a location with direct sunlight for maintenance, especially in winter. Maintaining it indoors in a sunny position is beneficial for it to pass the winter smoothly.6. Change basinWhen caring for peony and cactus balls, it is necessary to change the soil every 1-2 years, or decide whether to replace it based on the use status of the soil.If the soil is used for too long, it is prone to compaction and poor air permeability, which is not conducive to the growth of succulent plants such as peony and cactus.When changing pots, it is necessary to prepare new potting soil in advance, which can be mixed with vegetable garden soil, saprophytic soil, and coal slag. Every time the pot is changed, it is necessary to check and trim its roots. When potting, the substrate also needs to be disinfected to prevent residual bacteria from infecting its roots in the soil.7. FertilizationIn the process of breeding peony cactus, it is necessary to apply compound fertilizer rich in nutrients. It is a fertilizer loving plant. In addition to applying base fertilizer during planting, it should be applied every 1-2 months during later growth to ensure the healthy growth of peony cactus. - QUICK VIEW

TemperatureCactus 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. WateringThe 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. FertilizationDuring 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. - QUICK VIEW

1、 Selection of Flower PotsIf planting on the planet, it is necessary to choose a dedicated planting pot, which is convenient and fast, has good water permeability, and will not affect the growth of seedlings.2、 Selection and usage methods of potted soilIt is suitable to choose sand with good drainage, certain ventilation, and rich calcareous content for planting.The specific operation is as follows:The first step is to cover the bottom of the soil with a thicker layer of coal slag, which can effectively block the excess water at the bottom.Before applying soil, it is necessary to filter and screen the potted soil, remove some soil with larger particles, and then put it into a flower pot. Cover it with a thin layer of delicate sand, which can be gently shaken to make the soil more compact.3、 Proper disinfection workBefore sowing, it is necessary to disinfect the soil in the pot. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate. The concentration can vary depending on the color, and it is best to present a transparent red color. If it is too strong, it will cause the seeds to be burned, and if it is too weak, it will not have the effect of disinfection.Soak the flowerpot in a pre mixed disinfectant solution to allow the soil to fully absorb potassium permanganate. Once the topsoil is moistened, it can be removed. Drain the excess water and let it sit for two to four hours before sowing.4、 Sowing methodSeeds can be sown one by one, making it particularly convenient to move seedlings in the future. Now, make a small hole in the soil and put the seeds inside.It is also possible to directly sow on the surface of the soil, but it needs to be more uniform.5、 Post managementAfter sowing, spray a disinfectant solution and choose fungicides such as "carbendazim" or "methylthiophanate". Dilute and spray evenly according to a scientific ratio, and remember to cover the lid after completion.Place the seedling pot in a place with a temperature of 33 ℃ and maintain a temperature difference of 15 ℃ or above between day and night.Some seeds take a longer time to sprout, usually about a week later. If they don't sprout after a week, they basically won't sprout.If you are using a mud pot, pottery pot, or plastic pot for sowing, you can choose to cover it with a layer of cling film after sowing. This not only increases the humidity and temperature of the surrounding environment, but also effectively helps the seedlings isolate external bacteria and pests.
