A cactus ball grown for 20 years reaches 1 meter, winning with no special technique, entirely thanks to 3 stones

Recently, while browsing a flower forum, little gardener came across quite a few novel potted plants, such as the one little gardener is going to talk about today. It is called the Chimpanzee Ball, a type of cactus ball plant that blooms. It has been grown for 20 years, from the size of a fist to "giant club" size. I forgot the name of its owner, so let us admire this "peculiar ball" together.

1. A 20-year-old cactus ball, it has become a spirit

First, look at a "full-body photo." This is the full-body photo. The one in the picture is this flower owner's cactus ball, the Chimpanzee Ball. Normally speaking, after 20 years of growing, anything can become a spirit, and this one is no exception. Do you see the little flower ring on top? It is a cactus ball that blooms, with a little flower ring on top, very beautiful.

2. Care trick: winning with no special technique

This ball, grown for 20 years, has turned out like this. Is there some clever care trick? The flower owner says there actually is no advanced trick. She just keeps it by the window, waters it when she remembers, the window side has enough light, and occasionally when there is sun it can warm up a bit. Little gardener feels that this "free-range" method just happens to simulate the "original natural environment," and this is also the reason it can grow so large. If another plant were put in this environment, it might very well be killed.

Although the Chimpanzee Ball is a "spiky" beauty, it is also very experienced when it blooms. Just look at this ring of flowers, like a garland. Cactus balls like the Fireball Cactus are also very beautiful. To bloom, the basic elements needed are these: strong roots, loose soil, enough light, sufficient fertilizer, and finally a suitable environment. You can use organic nutrient solution to supplement fertilizer, and when the blooming season comes, it will naturally bloom.

3. Care trick: stones are the key

You should have seen the few stones in the pot. What use are these stones? Very simple: to stabilize the plant. This pot of Chimpanzee Ball is already overweight. Without stabilization, it would be hard for it to stand steady. Also, in summer, the stones have a certain heat-dissipating function, and this can be useful for other potted plants too. You can remember this little trick. While admiring it, why not learn a little care trick as well.

Dear flower owners, what do you think of this "giant cactus ball" that has become a spirit? This is also the first time little gardener has seen a Chimpanzee Ball grow like this. Seeing it as novel, I am sharing it with everyone. If you have such an "old plant" at home, you might as well share it with us too. The source of happiness is sharing.
