Today, the editor will specifically introduce some knowledge related to leaf cactus, so that everyone can understand it better.

The efficacy and function of leaf cactus

1. Leaf cactus can purify the air and prevent radiation. Usually, it is made into a potted plant and placed indoors. It can absorb carbon dioxide and harmful gases in the air and remove odors in the air. It can also absorb electromagnetic radiation released by computers and televisions, and prevent these electromagnetic radiation from harming the human body.

When people have skin redness, swelling and pain or bruises and sprains, they can directly crush it and apply it to the injured area. After taking the medicine, the symptoms can be quickly relieved. When people have skin inflammation or skin eczema, applying the crushed leaf cactus can also play an obvious therapeutic role and quickly relieve the symptoms of pain and itching.

How to grow leaf cactus

1. Temperature and sunlight

Temperature and sunlight are the two most important conditions for people to grow leaf cacti. They like high temperature environments. During the growth process, the temperature is preferably between 25 and 30 degrees, and the night temperature cannot be lower than 15 degrees. If the external environment temperature is lower than 15 degrees, it will enter a dormant state. Leaf cacti also need sufficient sunlight during their growth period. They are suitable for being placed in an environment that can receive direct sunlight, but moderate shade treatment is required in hot summer weather.

2. Fertilizer and water

Leaf cactus is a plant that is particularly drought-resistant. During the cultivation process, it cannot be watered blindly, let alone overwatered. It is necessary to abide by the principle of preferring dryness to wetness. Overwatering will cause its roots to rot and may even cause it to die. Leaf cactus likes fertilizer but is also particularly resistant to barrenness. After it enters the peak growth season, it can be top-dressed once every month, but before it enters the flowering period, it should be noted that it can lose weight every 10 years, so that it can bloom more and more beautiful flowers. After autumn, an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to help it survive the winter safely.
