Hello, i'm a senior gardener。
Speaking of “senior”, it's true that i've been on the balcony for a long time; saying "fruit" because of the flowers that i've been raising for years, i've replaced them with another batch of empties that can go around the balcony。
In the end, the waves were sand-drived, leaving only two items: cactus and trim。
Let's talk about cactus today。
It started out out of curiosity. Fairy balls were blooming! And the flowers are so beautiful, so colorful, so diverse, so much like little horns, so much like lotus flowers, so much bigger than fists. And i thought, "how can this prick be such a flower?"
So, go to the pit。
And then i found out that it really suits the lazy
I'm usually busy. I don't have much time to serve flowers. A lot of flowers are fragrance, water is scarce today, there's a lot of water tomorrow, and the sun's gonna get tanned the day after tomorrow..。
But cactus is different。
It's not afraid of sun and drought. It's an indigenous people in the desert. Consider how bad the weather is in the desert, when it's tanned during the day, when it's cold at night, when it's watery, and it's alive. To my balcony, it's hell to heaven。
So there's one word at the core: lazy。
You can't water too hard. It's iron
What's the worst thing about cactus。
You're too hard-working to water, and it's dead. I usually wait until the ground is completely dried up, and i'll pour it in a few days. Sometimes he gets busy and forgets that he hasn't been watered for 10 and a half days, and he's still alive。
The earth is also crucial. The principle is one: air-transmitting asphalt。
I used to combine it with earth, sand, and some rough particles. Later, it was convenient to buy volcanic granules and nutrient earth directly on the internet and to share them in proportion. It worked very well. Once the water went down, it leaked out of the bottom of the basin, and it didn't accumulate。
The better the sun, don't be afraid
A lot of people think fairyball's afraid of the sun, actually。
It likes sunshine very much. And you put it in the best place, and it shines, but it grows and blooms. I'm heading south on the balcony, where the best light is given to cactus。
Don't be afraid to die. As long as there's no problem with the roots, the water doesn't accumulate, the sun poisons it。
You want flowers
It's not enough to get the sun on. It's got to be filled with a little charisma。
I usually spray with potassium phosphate. It's like it's got more fertility than flowers, and after a few sprays, the flowers go off so fast。
This year every bowl of cactus on my balcony is blooming, some several times. The coloured flowers are squeezing on the balcony, passing by, feeling well。
Summarize my lazy fairy conservation
• watering: dry, dry and dry, rather than wet, never work too fast
• soil formulation: ablution, volcanic particles + nutrient soil is good
• light: the sun gets better and the light goes straight
:: fertilizer application: potassium phosphate to water spray, catalytic effect okay
• mind: don't worry too much, you're lazy and you're alive okay
If you don't have much time, and you want the balcony to look at it a little bit, you're really going to give it a try。
And when it does not make amends, and does not sway, and sometimes gives you water and sunshine, it can suddenly produce for you in the morning an amazing flower。
That kind of surprise is worth waiting for。
Next, i'm going to talk about another "principal"-tribe on the balcony。
