Cacti "Piante Grasse" (mix) - Cactus (mixed).
A mixture of popular types of cacti for growing on the window. These prickly pets will help you recreate a mini corner of the Mexican plateau.
The form of plants is the most diverse: spherical, flat, cylindrical, etc. They are distinguished by good growth, unpretentiousness to room conditions.
Grows well in pots with light soil, on south-facing windows. Emerging shoots are sprayed daily with water.
After 2-3 months, the seedlings are seated.
Plants are peculiar in appearance, come from tropical countries.
AGRICULTURAL TECHNIQUE: photophilous, require bright light, especially in winter. Seeds are sown from late March to early May.
Before sowing, relatively large seeds are soaked in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 24 hours, small ones are scattered over the surface of a moistened substrate.
Before germination, the crops are covered with glass or film and kept at a temperature of +18 +25 °С. Seedlings appear on the 14-30th day.
When the seedlings show the first thorns, they start picking. Transplant into pots in October.
Cacti need fresh air and plenty of light. From the end of summer, watering is reduced, from mid-autumn it is sharply limited - watered occasionally and little by little.
In the spring, watering is gradually increased, and in the period from late spring to late summer, the watering regimen is the same as for other indoor plants.
The amazing wealth of shapes and colors that cacti show us is a unique opportunity to create a rich collection even in a very limited space.
Perfect for a variety of compositions on sunny windows, for winter terraces, balconies, roof gardens and exotic corners of the garden.

* These succulent plants can become the pride of many collectors:
surprisingly diverse, hardy, easily adaptable to various conditions, they grow and flower well.
The plant form can be varied: spherical, flat, cylindrical, etc. (height 5-50 cm).
Cacti store water in their thickened stems, which are equipped with numerous spines: awl-shaped, hooked, hair-like and bristle-like.
The flowers are exceptionally beautiful, of various colors, 1-15 cm in diameter, and form on the top or at the base of the stem.
They are light-loving and heat-loving, develop excellently on south-facing windows, and are very easy to care for.
During the growth period, water cacti when the soil has become dry to the touch, but not completely dry.
In winter, they cannot tolerate excessive moisture; they need good ventilation and light, and are kept at a temperature of +5+10°C.
Large specimens are watered very rarely, small ones - 2 times a month (with rainwater or boiled water at room temperature).
The soil substrate for cacti must be loose, well-draining and aerated, and should not contain fresh compost (in addition, the presence of drainage is mandatory).
Seeds are sown in low, wide pots, lightly pressed into the soil without covering (they need light to germinate), and covered with glass.
Seeds usually begin to germinate in 10-14 days at a temperature of +20+25°C. The emerging seedlings are sprayed with water daily.
Watering is done via the tray. After 2-3 months, the plants are transplanted.
