Because there are many varieties of cactus, it is estimated that it will take three days and three nights to finish the introduction one by one. Today, I will introduce a relatively high-end (for me, expensive is high-end) variety. Its name is Xi Zhiye, and the ball is round and very distinctive, especially Xi Zhiye, who has developed Mickey's shape, and people want to start with one when they see it. For the more expensive meat, flower friends are always cautious when maintaining it, for fear that they can't keep it alive. Today, I will talk to you about the variety of Xizhiye.

Xi Zhiye's sphere is not big, with a diameter of about 5 cm. Under normal conditions, it is blue-green, and it will turn purple in winter or when the sun is exposed. Their flowering period is from May to July every year, and the common colors are white and pink. The flowers of round fans look very fairy, and the flowering period is short, only about 3 days. There are many forms of Xi Zhiye's wild thorns, some with thorns and some without thorns, some with long thorns and short thorns, some with black thorns, some with white thorns and some with gold thorns. The price difference of different forms is also very great. Flower lovers can choose according to their own preferences and the state of their wallets.

This species of cactus grows very slowly, and probably only grows one lateral bud a year. Because of the improvement of this kind of growth and development, many flower lovers carry out grafting on it. It is said that once it survives, it will not only grow faster, but also have a strong blooming level. Interested flower lovers can look up the example tutorial. At present, I have no successful experience in grafting, and I don't share it too much. I hope that the great god at the grafting level can share some useful skills for loving flowers.

Although Xi Zhiye's growth and development speed is relatively slow, their roots are quite developed. Therefore, it is suggested that when choosing a potted flower pot for him, he should try to choose a small pot, and the aperture of the potted flower pot will be about 2 times larger than that of the ball, so that they will grow sturdily in the middle and late stage, and the ball will be larger, and the lateral buds will explode faster. For the soil layer, it is best to use high-particulate soil with loose air permeability. It is suggested that 6 to 8 particulate soil is the best, and it must be cut when moving the pot.

If you buy lateral buds without roots, you must put them into the air first, and then move them until they have roots, and then water them a week or so after moving them. After a month or so, the watering interval is not too long. Just water them immediately when you find that the bonsai soil is hard. When you find that their balls are round, you will take the pots. In order to avoid them from growing vigorously, you must water them until the balls become soft.

After taking the basin, if you want them to look beautiful, you have to provide enough light and strictly control the water. For the light, it will be shaded when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees in summer. Although they are cactus, they are easy to get sunburned, especially some balls without thorns. This requires special attention. So when it is necessary to shade, some flower friends shared a trick, that is, put our hands above the cactus. If it feels hot in 3 to 5 minutes, then we must shade it, and we can rest assured to bask in the sun in other seasons.

As far as watering is concerned, there are many places to pay attention to. When the temperature is higher than 35 degrees or lower than 10 degrees, it is recommended to water less or simply stop the water supply. It will not be a big problem to dry for a month or two. When the light is insufficient, the watering interval should be lengthened. Generally speaking, it is necessary to ensure sufficient light and water supply when the ball is shriveled, so that they will not grow in vain. In the growing season, the water should be larger to ensure that the basin soil is moist but not stagnant. Because Xi Zhiye is prone to mildew, it is best not to get wet in the rain and not to let the water touch the ball when maintaining.
