How to take care of the newly bought Hylocereus

1. How to take care of the cycads after buying them

It is difficult for the Osmanthus fragrans to adapt to the new environment when it is first bought, so there will be a period of acclimatization. During this process, we need to create a comfortable potting soil environment for it, and use loose, fertile, and humus-rich soil for its growth. Since it has not yet returned to its normal growth state, there is no need to water it frequently or fertilize it. Place it in a warm and well-ventilated place for maintenance.

2. Specific breeding methods

1. Temperature: It likes a warm environment and is not cold-resistant. When you first buy it, you need to keep it in an environment where the temperature is at least 25°C. Do not keep it in a low temperature environment for a long time, otherwise the plant will easily be frostbitten. In autumn and winter, the room temperature should be kept at least above 10℃.

2. Soil: It likes to grow in loose, fertile, humus-rich soil. If the soil provided by the merchant is not suitable for its growth, you can use equal amounts of leaf mold, coarse sand and decomposed chicken manure or cow dung to prepare its nutrient soil.

3. Light: It likes light, but when you first buy it, to avoid the plant being burned, do not place it directly under strong light. It needs to be placed in a place with soft light for a period of time. Wait until it returns to its normal growth state, and then gradually give it sufficient light.

4. Watering: It likes a humid environment. When it is first bought, its growth rate is relatively slow, so you need to reduce the frequency and amount of watering as appropriate. But the humidity of the air needs to be guaranteed, so water needs to be sprinkled around frequently. Under normal circumstances, it is not advisable to water it too much in spring. It is sufficient to water it once every 10-15 days, but it is necessary to spray water on the plant every day to increase the air humidity. In summer, you can water it once every morning or evening. In winter, the soil in the pot needs to be kept dry. You can cover the pot with plastic film to protect it over the winter.

5. Fertilization: It likes fertilizer, but it is not advisable to apply fertilizer when it is just bought. Under normal circumstances, you can apply decomposed liquid fertilizer once every half a month, and stop fertilizing in winter.
