How to cultivate the cactus pen

1. Soil

It is best to use loose, well-drained sandy soil to grow cactus plants. Do not use heavy clay soil.

2. Watering

When growing a cactus plant, you must always keep the soil moist, and wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering. Control watering in summer, otherwise it will easily rot. In addition, control watering of the leaves when the temperature is low. Stop watering when the temperature is below 10℃ in winter, and only water when there is sufficient light and the soil in the pot is dry.

3. Lighting

The cactus plant is suitable for growing in an environment with diffuse light. It can receive light in spring and autumn. It needs to be properly shaded when the sunlight is strong in summer and should not be exposed to strong light. It cannot be kept indoors for a long time. It needs to be moved out of the room to receive light, which is more conducive to its growth.

4. Temperature

The temperature suitable for the growth of cactus is 15-22℃. It is not cold-resistant. It will stop growing when the temperature drops below 8℃ in winter. The minimum temperature cannot be lower than 4℃. Cooling measures should be taken when the temperature is too high in summer.
