Cultivation techniques of cat sting

Potted cat stings should be planted in slightly acidic soil with rich humus, fertile soil and good drainage. Generally, it is planted in a pot before germination in February-March in spring, watered after planting, and placed in the shade for 2-3 weeks. During the growth period, keep the soil moist without water, and often spray water on the leaves to create a small environment with moist air, so that the leaves are lush and fruitful. When it is hot in summer, it is necessary to strengthen ventilation and shade slightly to prevent the sun from exposure.

Transplanting can be carried out in spring and autumn, and spring is better. You need to bring a clay ball when you move. Because cats have few thorns and fibrous roots, you should especially prevent the balls from flying away when operating, and at the same time cut off some branches and leaves to reduce transpiration, otherwise it will be difficult to survive. Cats are resistant to pruning and can be pruned into various trees for viewing.
