Why can't we keep cacti at home?

Yes, this topic has already involved feudal superstition. The idea that cactus can't be kept at home is totally superstitious.

Why do some people say that cacti can't be kept at home? I did a search. The mainstream view is from the perspective of feng shui, saying that it is a fierce thing in feng shui. According to the traditional concept of geomantic omen, cactus will only be placed when there are great changes in the home, and evil spirits will be suppressed by this method. For example, during this period of time, there are constant disasters at home, so you can use it to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters.

In addition, the traditional geomantic theory holds that cactus in the bedroom is easy to provoke arguments and affect family feelings. Putting it in the living room can easily lead to family breakdown. Moreover, prickly cactus will destroy the gas field in the home, resulting in the leakage of wealth.

I have to say, imagination is really rich, and there is indeed essence in Feng Shui, but we should also get rid of its dross and don't cram all opinions into our minds.

It's not just superstition to say that cactus can't be kept at home. I tell you, cactus is very suitable for keeping at home.

I once bought cactus and put it next to the computer desk, because its vitality is really tenacious, and it is the first choice for lazy cancer patients who like to raise plants but are too lazy to take care of them. If you want to say something bad, just don't put it in an easy-to-reach place, otherwise it will hurt people, especially families with children. Besides, there's no harm.

Scientifically speaking, cactus can absorb carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen at night, which can purify the air and prevent radiation. The benefits are not too much.

Raising this drought-tolerant variety really doesn't need to be watered often, but it's not a simple matter to raise it well, especially to raise flowers or a lot of balls. It really takes some time for it to grow into a ball and bloom in a year, and attention should be paid to varieties and light.

So, how do you grow cactus at home? What should I pay attention to? Look down.

1, planting mode

Generally, we will buy cactus directly, and the roots are generally protected by nutrient mud. When planting, remove most of the nutrient mud and leave a little. Prune the old or weak roots of cactus to better adapt to the environment.

Then spread broken tiles on the small hole at the bottom of the flowerpot, pour it into loose sand, don't put it too full, and dig a hole slightly larger than cactus. After the cactus is put in, cover it with a layer of fine sand to keep the soil warm.

2. Preventive measures

1, soil

Cactus likes loose and breathable acidic soil, and some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be added when planting.

2. Water and fertilizer

Everyone knows the drought tolerance of cactus, so don't over-water it. Water about 20 days after planting. Be sure to water it thoroughly, not on the cactus. As for fertilizer, don't worry too much, just apply decomposed fertilizer once every 15 days.

3. Lighting equipment

Adequate light is necessary, but you can't use strong light in hot summer, so you should pay attention to shielding.

4. Temperature

Cactus is resistant to high temperature but not cold, so we should pay special attention to it in winter, at least let its growth temperature be above 5℃.

Step 5 change the pot

Pots can be changed every two years. Pay attention to cutting dead roots or old roots before planting and airing them for two or three days.

6. Pests

Attention should be paid to the harm of red spider to cactus. Once found, it is a good idea to intervene in time and kill with acaricide.

Finally, I want to repeat, you can put cacti at home! Cactus can be placed at home! Cactus can be placed at home! Just pay attention to yourself and the stabbed child.
