Cacti are undemanding, beautiful plants that even novice gardeners can take care of.
However, everyone can face the problem when cacti do not grow, do not bloom, get sick and die. And there are several main reasons why this happens.
How to save a cactus
If cacti start to rot, then this is due to:
- lots of moisture;
- excess nitrogen.
Cacti are not watered as often as other houseplants. This rule also applies to fertilizing. These plants do not need frequent watering and fertilizing, otherwise they will definitely die.
Cacti accumulate nutrition in their leaves. If there is too much watering and fertilizing, the cacti will not be able to process it all and will die.
The plant will get sick and it will be difficult or impossible to prevent the rotting process, the plant will eventually die. Preventive measures and properly organized care for cacti will not allow the plant to wither.
