Killed your cactus? You must have overlooked these two points - it is a beginner's potted plant
The cactus is the easiest potted plant to grow of all potted plants. Its adaptability is extremely strong - it can survive even in the desert. However, a friend left a message saying that her very first potted plant was killed by her, and it was the legendary cactus with incredibly strong vitality. She asked me what exactly went wrong? So today I will talk to you about the beginner's potted plant - the cactus!
The cactus has a nickname: "the lazy person's plant", because it does not need much care, which makes it popular with many flower lovers - especially many office workers who like to place a pot of it in front of their computer. So why do cacti get killed? First of all, beginners have a misconception when growing potted plants: that all plants love sunlight and water. So when it comes to watering, they do not pay attention to which ones barely need watering - take the cactus, for example. Everyone knows the cactus is a desert plant, its drought tolerance is very strong, and what the cactus likes is a dry environment. Watering heavily will cause it to become waterlogged and develop root rot, and in serious cases it will be literally "watered to death" like this.
The cactus is a plant that loves sunlight. Even the midday sun in the height of summer is no problem for it. But ordinary office workers will not remember this during work hours, and some people keep their cactus on the computer desk the whole time after buying it, never moving it into the sunlight to receive the sun's rays. Without sunlight, how could the cactus not die?
For the cactus, you only need to pay attention to these two things. First, it does not need too much watering - generally you only need to water once a month, but it must be watered thoroughly. Second, it needs sunlight - just remember to move the cactus to a sunny spot every day to bask in the sun. With such simple care, it does not take much time either. Treat the cactus well - after all, it comes from the harsh great desert. It survived such a harsh environment, yet died in your hands, hehe~
Alright, that is all for the cactus. If you have any other suggestions or opinions, leave a message in the comments section so we can discuss them together~ Thank you everyone~
