Short hair ball cultivation technique

[ Agricultural Products Network] Short hair pill, commonly known as grass ball, is a variant of Changsheng Pill and is one of the common species in the Cactus family. Native to South America, it is grown in grassland deserts with high heat, dryness, rainy season and dry season. Sexually drought-tolerant, the main growth period of the prickly pear is summer, which is also its flowering period. Let's look at the cultivation techniques of its short hairballs :

Short hair pill is strong in habit and easy to cultivate. For the potting soil, three kinds of nutrient soil prepared from humus soil, garden soil and coarse sand may be used, and the culture soil prepared by mixing the grass ash and the white wall ash may be added. The flower pot should not be too large, so that it can accommodate the sphere with a slight gap. Otherwise, the small bowl of the ball will be beautiful and empty.

When the basin is placed, the bottom of the basin is covered with a layer of broken tiles or coarse cinder to facilitate drainage. The depth of planting is preferably the same as the soil neck and the soil surface. Do not water the short-haired pill just planted, spray water 2 or 3 times a day, pour a small amount of water in half a month, and gradually increase the amount of watering after growing a new root for 1 month. In the watering, you should master the principle of “see dry and see wet”. When the surface of the potting soil is dry and watered, the amount of water should be appropriate, and water in the basin should not be avoided. After watering, it is necessary to loosen the soil in time to help keep the soil loose and breathable. The water supply should be more appropriate during flowering. During the winter, the watering should be strictly controlled, and the potting soil should not be too dry.

A short-haired pill grafted with a triangle can be used to fertilize the thin pancake water every 15 to 20 days during the growing season. Other types of short-haired pills generally only apply a small amount of liquid fertilizer during the seedling stage, and a small amount of phosphate fertilizer can be applied during the adult stage. If the water is too large, it will easily cause the bulb to grow into a deformed shape, and the bristles become short and difficult to flower.

Short-haired pill should be changed in the early spring every 1 to 2 years. When changing the basin, cut off some of the old roots and remove some of the soil. After drying for 1 to 2 days, re-fill the basin and add some new culture soil. Watering and sun exposure should not be carried out immediately after changing the basin. It should be kept in the shade and watered after 1 week, which is good for growth. After the spring is warm, put it outdoors to the sun, and pay attention to proper shading in the summer, and the ventilation is good. In case of rain, it should be moved into the room in time to avoid the accumulation of water in the basin after the rain, causing the death of the short-haired pill. If it has been rained, it should be loosened immediately to speed up the evaporation of water. In the cold regions of the north, it will be moved indoors to the sun in early October, and the room temperature will remain above -10 degrees for safe wintering.
