1. Breathable sand
1. Breathable sandy soil
The roots of the tiger thorn plum are fleshy roots and cannot tolerate a wet environment. They like to grow in dry soil, so the appropriate soil quality must be prepared. Taking into account both drainage and water absorption, a suitable substrate can greatly reduce the possibility of root rot. It can be prepared with humus soil, sandy soil, and vermiculite, so that the prepared soil is more suitable for growth. Be sure to avoid using soil with poor permeability and soil that is too sticky and heavy.
2. Control moisture
When applying water, you must control it well. Generally speaking, it is better to keep the pot soil dry and the amount of water should be appropriate. In summer, because the evaporation rate is faster, you can add more appropriately. If it exceeds 35 degrees Celsius, you can't add too much. In winter, because the temperature is relatively cold, the amount of water should also be controlled to keep it dry and wet.
3. Apply light fertilizer
Fertilizer is also very important. You must apply light fertilizer and do not use thick fertilizer or raw fertilizer to prevent the concentration from being too high and burning the roots.
4. Prevention of pests and diseases
Before selecting soil for potting, the soil needs to be disinfected to prevent plant infection caused by improper disinfection. At the same time, pay attention to ventilation to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases.
