How To Grow Cactus

How to grow
The first step is to buy seeds to plant cactus cactus healthy. A healthy cactus thorns are perfect (nothing is broken), the stems are not bruised, and the direction perpendicular to the growth (not tip-tilted and balanced). You can buy in stores cactus plants-nursery or nursery nearby. Purchase seeds at least 3 months old.



Once you get the best candidate cactus, plant it in soil media chaff or sandy soil. If you buy the kind of tall cactus like Cerevius, then the size of the pot to plant your plants should be as high as ½. If you buy a round as Echinocactus trunked cactus or cactus such as Opuntia thin trunked, then try to pot plant 5-10 cm in diameter larger than the size of your cactus.

Before planting, make sure that like any good potting soil that you provide are in a dry state. Then, spray the pot with a disinfectant to ward off the source of illness that may arise. Do the planting in the usual way, make sure the compressed soil and roots is completely immersed well.

REMEMBER: wait a week before the first watering. This is done because most types of cactus have a dormancy period in which he does not need water. Provision of water immediately after planting only cactus will cause root decay. In addition, do pot or soil replacement at regular intervals once every 1 year.

Generally, there are two types of cactus is a cactus plant that likes sun or vice versa, cactus-like dark places. Do not forget to ask the kind where you currently buy cactus plants in the nursery. Both types do not need a temperature of strange really. Our country's climate is suitable for the growth of cactus. You just remember this: When it's dry too long left out of the house, when frequent rains move to avoid the rain. Cactus deaths are often caused due to decomposition by rain.

Anyway, the temperature is too high or low can cause the cactus berdormansi. If you're berdormansi, he would stop growing for a while. You certainly do not want your cactus pygmy, is not it? So closely-watched season cermatlah when growing cactus in the house.

In the first weeks after planting, do not directly under the sun to dry the cactus. After planting, place under the shade, or shadow. Only later, at regular intervals to move to a brighter place. If the newly planted directly when you dry in the sun, then you can burn the cactus. If you planted the seeds of cactus in the house, then make sure the air circulation inside the house is always good to support the growth of cactus. Not difficult, not to plant a cactus?
