How do cacti are grown? There are also many types of cacti. According to online data, there are more than 2,000 species of cactus in the world. There is also a cactus that is edible cactus, which can be used both medicinally and vegetable. Let's learn about the edible value, growth characteristics, and cultivation methods of this cactus. First, edible, medicinal value Edible cactus has the effect of promoting qi and activating blood, clearing away heat and detoxifying, etc. It is a vegetable with development potential. Second, growth habits Edible cactus is a perennial plant, like sunshine, drought-tolerant, and poor-tolerant, but not cold-resistant, avoiding watery sputum; less thorny or thornless on the stem, the stem section is flat, oval, oval, palm area about 15 cm × 40 cm. Third, cultivation techniques The edible cactus is thick and easy to grow, has strong resistance, and has fewer pests and diseases. Once planted, it can be continuously picked for many years, which has the advantages of time saving, labor saving and cost saving. 1. Land selection It is best to plant edible cactus with sandy soil, well-drained, fertile soil and sunny fields. 2. Inserting period Edible cactus can be planted all year round, but the most suitable temperature for planting is 20 ~ 30 ° C, the survival rate can reach more than 95%. When planting, the soil should not be too wet. If the soil is too wet, the anaerobic microorganisms in the soil will multiply, causing the stems to rot and reduce the survival rate. Therefore, it is forbidden to plant in rainy days. Before planting, the cut new palms are placed in the sun to dry, until the wounds are dehydrated and dried, and then disinfected with stone sulfur mixture, then they can be inserted. 3. Planting specifications When planting, it is required to squat, 1.2 meters wide (groove), 15 to 25 cm high, and full of organic fertilizer. Planting specifications: 2 rows per plant, plant spacing 40 cm, row spacing 60 cm, planting 1600-1800 acres, planting depth 2/5 of the cactus slices, palms facing the sun (ie east, west), so that On both sides of the palm and in the afternoon, you can get plenty of sunlight, which is good for photosynthesis. 4. Fertilizer management Keep the soil moist after planting. When the seedlings are planted, the shoots can be fertilized for the first time after the shoots grow 6 cm; the second fertilization is followed by the fertilization to promote the cactus to continue to germinate. It is best to apply decomposed organic fertilizer when fertilizing. There is no need to apply any fertilizer during the dormant period of the cactus. 5. Soil During the growth process of the cactus, as the weight of the aboveground part increases, the soil should be cultivated in time to prevent the plants from lodging. 6. Pest control According to the test species observation, there are very few edible cactus pests and diseases. If bacterial diseases are found, it can be controlled by fungicides, and pests can be controlled by insecticides, all of which can receive good results. 7. Picking Stem slices for cooking, can be picked within one and a half months after germination, the older the stems and leaves, the higher the acidity, the tenderer the stems, the lower the acidity, the early harvesting affects the yield, the acidity will increase when the harvesting is too late, and the production should pay attention to the timely pick. The seedlings for seeding require a growth period of more than 6 months, and the survival rate can be guaranteed when planting. In addition, when the temperature drops to 5 °C, the insulation should be done well, and the edible cactus below 0 °C is susceptible to freezing damage. Nylon film or straw cover can be used for insulation. The above is the whole content about cactus introduced by Xiaobian today. Interested farmers can actually understand that edible cactus is still not popular in China.
