Под заказ Astrophytum asterias “nudum” is a short, stubby cactus that reaches only about 21/2 inches high with a 6-inch diameter. This is a rare, hard-to-grow species not often seen in residential use. Growth Rate The needs of an Astrophytum cactus are the same as for other cacti – coarse, porous soil, and plenty of sunlight. While this cactus can be grown as a landscape garden specimen in the proper climate, it more commonly is used as a potted specimen for indoor growing or on decks and patios. Astrophytums are not vigorous plants, and they require a lot of patience to reach their full potential. Keep regularly watering and feeding them during the growing season and repot annually to give them space to develop. They need a temperate, dry winter; make sure not to overwater them, which can cause root rot. If given sufficient care, they will develop marvelous flowers once they reach maturity. Watch out for common cactus pests like aphids and scale – these can often be taken care of by a good eco-friendly pesticide, or simply wiped away with a cloth. Watering Despite their reputation as desert plants, many cacti, including the Astrophytum species, perform best if the soil gets a good drenching between periods where it dries out entirely. A potted plant should get a decent watering once a month during the growing season, but make sure the plant’s roots don’t sit in water. During the winter, watering can be less frequent. Soil Like most cacti, these species need well-drained, fairly sandy soil and will likely perish in rich soils that retain moisture. Fertilizing Fertilize during the growing season with a balanced, fertilizer, such as 20-20-20, mixed into the water. Potting and repotting Repot these cacti regularly to help them develop. Astrophytums should be repotted at the beginning of the growing season to allow them to grow into the impressive specimens for which the genus is known. Wearing sturdy gloves, lift the plant out all at once, then move to a larger pot and backfill with potting mix. Don’t overwater or overfeed newly repotted cacti, as disturbance can be hard on them. Light Give Astrophytum cacti plenty of sunlight – at least 6 hours per day if growing outdoors. As a potted indoor plant, it can do fine in a window that gets direct sunlight or intense indirect light. Temperature These cacti like warm temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit all summer, then slightly cooler, more temperate winter conditions. High humidity is not advised for these plants. Propagating Astrophytum cacti propagate by seeds, which can be collected from the dried flowers. These seeds are fairly fragile: Be gentle with them before planting in a tray or pot filled with cactus potting mix. Just barely cover the seeds with potting medium. Be patient, as it can take several years for seeds to develop into flowering plants. The seeds have a fairly short shelf life and need to be planted quickly after harvesting to have a reasonable chance at rooting. Seal the tray or pot with a plastic cover to help contain moisture and heat. It can help to soak seeds before they’re planted. Once the seedlings appear, uncover the tray or pot and gradually acclimate them with increasing periods spent in direct sunlight. Within a few weeks, the seedlings can be transplanted into their permanent containers filled with cactus potting mix. |

Под заказ Gymnocalycium cactus, also known as chin cactus or moon cactus, is a popular species of cactus that is native to South America. It belongs to the family Cactaceae and the genus Gymnocalycium, which comprises more than 70 species of cactus. Gymnocalycium cactus, where it grows in dry, rocky areas at elevations ranging from sea level to about 2,000 meters. It is a small, globose cactus that typically grows to a height of 15-20 cm, with a diameter of 8-10 cm. The name Gymnocalycium comes from the Greek words “gymnos,” meaning naked, and “calyx,” meaning calyx, referring to the exposed, naked flower buds of the plant. The plant is known for its small, spherical shape and its attractive, spiny appearance. Gymnocalycium cactus was first described by the German botanist Franz Wilhelm Schumann in 1891. It was later classified as a separate genus by the Austrian botanist Karl August Dieterle in 1930. Gymnocalycium cactus is widely cultivated as a decorative plant, both indoors and outdoors. It is a popular choice for cactus gardens and for container gardening, due to its small size and low maintenance requirements. It is also frequently grown as a houseplant, as it is able to tolerate low light conditions and requires minimal watering. In addition to its ornamental value, Gymnocalycium cactus is also used in traditional medicine in its native range. The plant has been used to treat a variety of ailments, including headaches, stomach aches, and skin conditions. Overall, Gymnocalycium cactus is a unique and attractive plant that has been widely cultivated and enjoyed by gardeners and plant enthusiasts around the world. Its origin can be traced back to South America, where it has been used for both decorative and medicinal purposes for centuries. Growth Rate The growth rate of gymnocalycium cactus depends on several factors, such as the environmental conditions, soil, temperature, and amount of light it receives.Gymnocalycium cacti are slow-growing succulents and typically take 2-4 years to reach their full size. Watering Gymnocalycium cacti need to have plenty of proper drainage, so avoid over-watering.Water when the soil has dried out, allowing the top one to two inches of soil to dry out before watering. Allow the water to completely drain out. Soak and drain the soil two to three times for larger plants. Reduce watering in the winter. Humidity Humidity levels for gymnocalycium cacti should remain between 30% and 50%.Although the plant is adapted to arid desert conditions, periods of prolonged drought can cause the plant to become dry and shriveled. It is also important to avoid extreme humidity levels, as this can cause root rot, and even death of the cactus. Be sure to place the cactus in a location with plenty of air circulation, so that humidity levels do not stay too high for extended periods of time. Soil should be well-draining, gritty, and contain organic material such as peat moss, coir, or compost. You’ll also need to add some sharp sand or grit to help promote drainage. For optimal growth, cactus soil should have a pH range of between 6.5 and 7.5. Be sure to water your cacti when the soil is dry, and during the summer months feed your plants with a cactus fertilizer every two weeks. Sunlight Gymnocalycium cacti prefer bright, filtered light and should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. For the best results and healthiest growth, place your gymnocalycium cactus in an area that receives intermittent direct sunlight throughout the day, such as a south-facing window or balcony. This will give your cactus the bright light it needs without causing it to scorch or fry. They will also tolerate near shade as long as there is some bright indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight as this will burn the plant’s surface and impair growth. Temperature Gymnocalycium should be kept at a temperature of 55-65 °F (13-18 °C) during the day and 50-55 °F (10-13 °C) at night.Too high temperatures may cause the plant to decline, while too low temperatures can cause it to rot. Fertilizing Fertilize Gymnocalycium cacti once every four weeks during the growing season (April to September) with a balanced fertilizer that has about a 10-10-10 ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) or a specialty cactus fertilizer. Use a maintenance dose rather than full strength and mix it with water according to package instructions. Do not fertilize during the winter, when growth slows down and the plant is in a semi-dormant state. Diseases Common diseases found in gymnocalycium plants include: 1. Rust 2. Botrytis Blight 3. White Power Fungus 4. Root Rot 5. Powdery Mildew 6. Spider Mites 7. Fusarium Wilt 8. Rotting Crowns 9. Southern Blight Insects and Mites The most common insects and mites found on gymnocalycium cactus include mealybugs, scale insects, aphids, spider mites, thrips and whiteflies. These pests can suck the sap from the cactus, resulting in the foliage turning yellow, wilting and dying. To control these pests, the application of horticultural oil or insecticidal soap is recommended. Regular inspections should be carried out, and any affected foliage should be removed immediately to prevent the spread of the problem. Good cultural practices, such as regularly removing old growth and keeping the plant well pruned and clean, can also help to prevent infestations. Potting and repotting Cacti are slow-growing, so they don’t need to be repotted often. Gymnocalycium cactus should only be repotted when the pot is too small or if you want to divide the plant into multiple plants. When repotting gymnocalycium cactus, you should use a soil mixture with good drainage capabilities. The soil should be light and airy and of a gritty texture. A combination of peat moss, perlite, and pumice will create a good cactus soil mixture. Before repotting, you should cut away any damaged or dead sections of the cactus with a sharp knife. It’s also important to wear gloves as the plant’s spines can be sharp. When putting the cactus back into its pot, you should ensure that the roots are snugly fit into the soil. Add enough soil to cover the root system, but leave the plant. Flowering Gymnocalycium is a genus of South American cacti that consist of several species whose common feature is the presence of flower buds where their spines are located. These blossoms often come in shades of white, pink, orange, yellow, and red. They typically bloom in the spring and summer months and can last up to several weeks. The gymnocalycium species all have globular shapes, and the flowers are rarely found on the other cacti. The combination of bright colors and delicate petals makes the flowering of gymnocalycium a joy to observe. Propagation Gymnocalycium cacti are usually propagated from seed, though some types can be easily divided from the parent plant. Gymnocalycium cacti typically require warm temperatures, bright light, and well-draining soil. Before planting, the seeds should be soaked in warm water overnight. Plant the seeds shallowly, then cover them with soil; they should take around 7-14 days to germinate. When the seedlings are large enough, they should be pruned to encourage further growth. Gradually increase the amount of sunlight and water for the cacti as they mature. To divide the plant, carefully lever away with a small knife or other sharp implement; each piece should have an intact root system. After dividing the plant, it should be left to callous over for a few days before replanting. Water the plants sparingly until they are well established. |
