A cactus ball needs only a little phosphorus fertilizer to grow strong and healthy
As a drought-tolerant and easy-to-care-for little green plant, the cactus ball has always been a favorite of the public, especially for those busy with work who still love growing small plants, keeping one is an absolute no-brainer. I myself keep a small pot on my office desk, and whenever I feel tired from work, seeing it lifts my mood right up.
Although the cactus ball is very drought-tolerant, it still needs regular watering. As a plant that loves dry conditions, watering is a real skill: too much and the roots rot easily, too little and it turns yellow easily. So how should you water it to help the cactus ball grow without root rot? Next, I will take you to explore the secrets of watering.
Generally, watering should start by pouring water from the top, which is the only way to moisten the whole plant. Before, I foolishly poured water only into the soil, and in the end the cactus ball grew ugly spots on its body. After checking some information, I realized it was caused by uneven watering. The water amount should keep it in a state of being moist through and through while drying out slightly in between; if you occasionally water a bit too much by accident, it is no big deal, you can put it on the balcony at noon to let it absorb it.
Finally comes the key moment of fertilizing. Yes, the cactus ball also needs fertilizer. If you want it to grow strong and bloom, fertilizer is an important bloom booster. The cactus ball loves phosphorus fertilizer, and during the growing season it can be applied once every 10-15 days, but after October when autumn begins, stop fertilizing, because to avoid it continuing to grow and being damaged by cold, this point must be noted.
A cactus ball you have cultivated with your own care is a joy just to look at, not to mention that it is also a little expert at purifying the air. Placing a small pot beside an office desk or computer desk can not only absorb dust but is also clean and eco-friendly. How could anyone not love this cactus ball that brings us health!!
