Planting and maintenance: Place it in a semi-shady place first, and wait until it recovers before it can properly see the light.

1. Check the plants

1. Check the plants

After buying a new cactus, you need to carefully remove the wrapping paper. Check whether there are wounds at the bottom of the plant. If there are cuts at the roots, you need to place it in a well-ventilated place to dry for a few days. Wait until the wounds become dry before planting. In addition, any rotten or old roots must be cut off. If possible, it is best to disinfect them to avoid infection.

2. Prepare pot soil

Prepare a flower pot of suitable size. There should be drainage holes in the bottom of the pot, and fill it with some clean and well-breathable soil. The pot used should not be too small as this will hinder the growth of its roots. The soil should not be too sticky, as this will prevent the plant roots from breathing.

3. Planting

Dig a hole in the soil in the flower pot, then place the purchased cactus into the pot soil, and then bury it with soil. The root position must be buried with soil, and the surrounding soil must be firm.

4. Planting and maintenance

Planting Finally, put it in a semi-shady place, away from direct sunlight, and wait until it recovers before it can see the light. If the soil is too dry, you can water it appropriately, but do not pour water on the cactus, as it will cause rot.
