Remember these 5 points for summer care of ball cacti, and flowers will bloom all over the ball

Many people also like potted plants covered in spines, such as the ball cactus, also known as the flowering ball or grass ball. It is delicate and cute, and its blooming flowers are also very bright and beautiful. Placed on a desk or beside a computer, it makes a nice decorative touch.

Summer is the flowering season for ball cacti, so if you want your ball cactus to bloom, early-summer care is very important. Know these 5 points, and flowers will bloom all over the ball!

Let's take a look together below!

For the soil of a ball cactus, choose loose, breathable, fertile, well-drained sandy soil, which is better for the growth of the ball cactus roots, helps it grow vigorously, and promotes flowering

As the weather gets hotter and hotter and the temperature gets higher and higher, although ball cacti are relatively drought-tolerant, the current season is also their growing season. When watering ball cacti, be sure to water thoroughly. You can do it in the morning or evening, but not at noon. In other seasons, water by the principle of seeing dry and seeing wet!

Ball cacti like plenty of light, but when the sunlight is strong at noon, also pay attention to shading, otherwise strong light can easily scorch the ball cactus.

In addition, during its growing season, you can fertilize once or twice in succession, applying decomposed liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer once every 15 days, such as decomposed water from various vegetable leaves, rice-washing water, or special nutrient fertilizer, which can supplement enough nutrients for the ball cactus. But when July and August arrive, when the weather is especially hot, do not fertilize anymore.

In the current season, the weather is muggy, so place the ball cactus in a well-ventilated place. If ventilation is poor, the ball cactus is very prone to pests and diseases or rotting. If disease appears, you can spray carbendazim.

If you like ball cacti, master their growth habits, and you will not worry about having no flowers to see.
