Cacti, symbols of resilience and exotic beauty, are plants with the ability to withstand extreme conditions and thrive in dry and arid regions. One of the key aspects of successful cultivation is proper nutrition. While cacti are known for their slow and economical metabolism, there is still a need for minimal nutrients, especially for established plants. Let’s now explore some key aspects of cactus feeding, focusing on the use of products from the “Crystalon” series.

It is important to note that not all types of fertilizers are suitable for cacti. For their optimal development and healthy growth, it is crucial to choose the right fertilizer with the appropriate ratio of essential nutrients. For example, nitrogen stimulates the growth of water-storing tissue and can lead to excessive stretching of the plant, making it fragile and vulnerable. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid fertilizers with high nitrogen content for cacti.

Through numerous studies and experiments, it has been established that a combined fertilizer with a ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium of 6-12-36 is most suitable for cacti. In this context, the product from the “Crystalon” series with the orange color is an excellent choice as it contains not only the necessary basic elements but also a complex of trace elements that promote healthy growth and development of the plant.

For younger plants, the red Crystalon can be used, which has a ratio of basic elements of 12-12-36. This product provides enough nitrogen to stimulate initial growth without dominating and leading to unwanted consequences such as stretching of the plant.

It is important to emphasize that feeding cacti should only be done during their active growth, which usually occurs in spring and summer. It is usually recommended to apply fertilizer after every second or third watering. To achieve optimal results, it is advisable to dissolve the fertilizer in a small amount of water and apply it to the soil afterward, ensuring additional watering to ensure its distribution.

In conclusion, proper feeding of cacti is a key factor in their successful development and health. Choosing the right fertilizer is crucial, and products from the “Crystalon” series offer an optimal ratio of nutrients necessary for the healthy growth of cacti. By following these tips and recommendations, you will be able to enjoy your beautiful cacti in their full glory throughout the year.
