1. water time
The first thing to say is the watering time. The cactus of Jade Weng doesn't need to be watered often. In general, water it every 7- 10 day. But the specific watering time depends on temperature, humidity, light and other factors. When the temperature is high in summer, the water evaporation rate of the fisherman cactus will be accelerated, so the frequency of watering should be increased. In winter, when the weather is cold, the growth rate of fisherman's cactus will slow down, so we should reduce the number of watering.
2. Water quantity
The amount of water is also critical. Too much or too little will have a bad influence on the growth of fisherman cactus. Under normal circumstances, the amount of water each time should make the soil fully wet, but don't let the water drown to the bottom of the basin. If you water too much, it is easy to cause the roots to be soaked and cause diseases; If watering is too little, plants will grow slowly or even die because of lack of water.
Step 3 Water method
The way of watering is also very important. There are generally two ways, watering from above and watering from below. If you water from above, be careful not to pour water directly on the leaves, because it will easily lead to leaf rot. The best way is to spray water on the soil surface with a watering can. If you water from below, you can drain the water at the bottom of the basin first, then put the basin in the basin and let the soil absorb water by itself. This can prevent the leaves from being soaked by water, and the roots of plants can fully absorb water.
4. Irrigation water quality
The last thing to say is water quality. Fisherman cactus prefers acidic soil, and it is best to irrigate it with acidic water. If you use tap water, you can leave the water for a period of time to let the chlorine in the water evaporate. If the water quality is excellent, you can add some vinegar or citric acid to reduce the hardness of the water.
In a word, watering is one of the key steps in the maintenance of cactus. Only by watering correctly can it grow healthily.
