Talking about cactus

When it comes to cactus, everyone will think of round plants covered with thorns. Now many office workers put it on their desks because it can purify the air. But you know what? Cactus can also blossom, which is not only beautiful, but also has other functions. Xiao Wu will tell you today.

Flowering cactus

The origin of cactus is mostly desert, and it likes high temperature and dry climate. The stems are spherical or oval, green, and peanuts are in the longitudinal thorns. Cactus usually bloom in the early morning or evening. There are many colors such as white, red, yellow, orange and green, and the shape of the flower is similar to a long morning glory. Perhaps it is the short flowering time of cactus, and it is also because cactus is rarely seen to bloom. It happened that Xiao Wu's cactus was in bloom, and I saw that its flowers and bones were as straight as torches. Surprisingly, this time my cactus always grows 10 flowers and bones, watching them wait for the moment of opening. Xiao Wu's heart is still very excited.

Cactus is beautiful, but its small body has other functions. Let Xiao Wu elaborate.

First of all, cactus is a cold plant, probably because it is covered with thorns, so it is not taken seriously. Because it comes from a desert area, it shows that it is extremely drought-tolerant. Traditional Chinese medicine has found through research that it can promote qi and blood circulation, strengthen the spleen and regulate the stomach. In this respect, it is edible. Cactus sold well in the market because it was processed by edible technology before. Therefore, cactus can also be processed by technology and enter the table of consumers.

If you work outdoors in summer and rest indoors, you will be bitten by mosquitoes. Take some from cactus and apply it to the bitten area, which can treat mosquito bites well. In addition, if there is an emergency of scald, taking some cactus can effectively relieve the pain. If frostbite occurs, you can also take cactus for treatment, and the effect is also very good. In addition, cactus can also treat symptoms such as stomach trouble. Of course, it is just an ornamental plant. Please follow the doctor's advice if you want treatment.

Since cactus has so many advantages, what should we pay attention to when raising cactus at home?

First of all, cactus is drought-tolerant, but it also likes wet soil. Don't always water the cactus, if you water it too much, it will hurt its growth. Spring and summer is the peak period of cactus growth, which can be fertilized and supplemented with energy. Please be careful not to sprinkle fertilizer on the cactus, so as not to burn the ball and affect its development.

In addition, cactus does not need high temperature. In the cold winter, please keep warm to avoid frostbite due to low temperature. It looks quiet and good to put it on the windowsill in winter to absorb the sun. It would be even more beautiful if it could bloom at this time.

Flowering cactus

The popularity of cactus stems from its low requirements for the environment. Although drought-tolerant, don't ignore it for a long time. After all, take good care of it and it will give you a beautiful return. Moreover, it should be noted that if you want to graft other flowers on cactus, you must do a good job of wound treatment to avoid hurting the sphere because of misoperation. Families with children should also be protected to avoid being stabbed by cactus because their children are playing. Although the appearance of cactus is naive, it has hard thorns. But there are Jin Hu, Giant Carved Jade, Huang Weng and Couple Jade. I think it comes from the love of flower growers and also from its quiet but not delicate body. Whether at your desk or at home. As long as it's reassuring. Because of its beauty, it blooms peacefully, please keep that expectation, because cactus is beautiful.
