Lighting: usually put it in a lighting place to bask in the sun, and strong light needs shade in summer.

Watering: it has strong drought tolerance, so it can be watered when it is dry and wet.

Temperature: it is best to provide an environment of 20-25℃, strengthen ventilation in high temperature environment, and move indoors in winter.

Fertilization: There are many nutrients consumed in the peak season and flowering period, so it is necessary to apply fertilizer reasonably to ensure adequate nutrition and promote normal flowering.

I. Soil

The soil used in the cultivation of colored grass cactus must be soft, breathable, well drained, and preferably have a certain fertility, so as to promote its growth more vigorously. When preparing soil, garden soil, humus soil and coarse sand can be mixed, and finally a small amount of decomposed base fertilizer can be doped to improve soil fertility. Note that the prepared soil must be disinfected before it can be used, and there should be a larger drainage hole at the bottom of the flowerpot to facilitate drainage.

Second, the light

Colored grass cactus likes the light, and likes to grow in an environment with sufficient light. Usually, it should be placed in a lighting place and exposed to the sun as much as possible, so as to promote vigorous growth. However, the light in summer is too strong, so shading measures must be taken, and it is easy to get sunburned after long exposure. If it is often placed in a shady environment, photosynthesis cannot be carried out normally, and it will affect flowering for a long time.

Third, water

Colored grass cactus is extremely drought-tolerant, so it doesn't need to be watered too often during breeding, just wait until the soil in the basin is dry, and it can be watered thoroughly during the growing season, so that the roots at the bottom should also absorb enough water, but it is strictly forbidden to accumulate water. In winter, its growth basically stopped, so it is necessary to strictly control water and dry the soil to ensure safe wintering. If there is a lot of rain in the area, it must be maintained indoors, and it can't get wet for a long time, otherwise the cactus will rot easily.

Fourth, the temperature

Colored grass cactus likes warm environment, which is beneficial to its growth at a temperature of 20-25℃. It has a certain high temperature resistance, and it can be safely spent in summer under high temperature environment as long as it is well ventilated. Its cold tolerance is not high, so it needs to be moved indoors after winter, and the temperature should be controlled above 10℃, otherwise it will be easily frostbitten. Be careful not to get too close to the heating equipment to avoid being burnt.

V. Fertilization

Colored grass cactus consumes a lot of nutrients in the peak season and flowering period. In order to promote vigorous growth and normal flowering, it is necessary to apply fertilizer reasonably to ensure adequate nutrition. Diluted organic fertilizer solution can be watered in the growing season, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied before flowering to promote flowering. If the soil is barren, the growth and flowering of colored grass cactus will be affected.
