Speaking of cactus , anyone who raises succulent also knows cactus. In fact, raising cactus is also a good choice. At least it is easier to maintain than succulent , and the mortality rate is also lower. Once the cactus is well raised, it can still be in a state. The sharp thorns are also very ornamental. Of course, everyone has a different understanding of plants, and some people like succulents.
There are also different varieties of cactus, both good and inferior. There are also great differences between prices. High-quality cactus varieties can be sold for several hundred yuan, and ordinary cactus can be bought for three or five yuan. How should we choose cactus?
Currently, the cactus on the Chinese market is mainly divided into two categories. It is reproduced by sowing and grafting through to reproduce . The latter is easy to understand. It is to accelerate the growth rate of cactus and accelerate its lateral bud differentiation through grafting. Cactus can grow side buds, and the lateral teeth can be broken down, and after a period of maintenance, it can also grow roots.
Usually, the more expensive cactus on the market are reproduced through grafting, which can greatly accelerate the growth rate of cactus and accelerate its reproduction. The precious cactus varieties are more popular in the market, but they are also more expensive in terms of price. In order to accelerate the growth of cactus faster, merchants will use grafting and reproduction.
There are many popular cactus varieties on the market. "Xi Zhiye" is a typical variety that entered my country from Japan and was reproduced in large quantities through grafting in my country. Currently, there are also Xi Zhiye on the market. The average price is about 40 to 50, but it is generally reproduced through lateral buds.
If Xi Zhiye is reproduced through sowing, the sale price of a single tree can reach between 100 and 150 yuan, and the price is still relatively expensive. Most people cannot accept the actual price of sowing, so they will choose to land and root, after all, the price is much cheaper.
It is not recommended for everyone to buy the landed cactus. If you do not have rich maintenance experience, then the grafted cactus will easily dry up and die when you buy it home. The mortality rate is relatively high, especially for beginners who are raising cactus for the first time. The mortality rate is very high. Not only Xi Zhiye who landed, but other varieties are also the same. The root system of the landed cactus is a capillary root and is prone to rot and dry.
In addition, the high-priced high-quality cactus sold on the Chinese market are all from Zhangzhou from Fujian. They are cultivated in high temperature and high humidity environments. The cactus seems to have no problems on the surface, but in fact it is easy to turn water into water, including cactus that take root. If you don’t have enough experience, you will easily turn water into roots and rot when you buy it home. This disadvantage cannot be improved by the impact of the local environment.
