Terms of growing cactus plants, among others: be at height of 1200 meters above sea level, air temperature ranged between 160-340C. For seed germination (seed), requires temperatures between 260-350C. Especially for hybrid cactus annealing results, it can be grown in a mountainous area 160-240C. Can also live in lowland temperate heat, but causes the color of the stem tends to dull. Air humidity (RH) ranged between 30% -90%. Low rainfall, 60 mm / month. Radiation intensity 50-80%.
PLANT PROPAGATION
Cactus plants can be propagated by using two ways, among others:
1. Propagation generativelly
Cactus can be propagated by using seeds that have been selected first.
2. Vegetative Propagation
Vegetative Propagation of cactus can be done in several ways, namely:
a. Stem or branch cuttings
Propagation is intended to produce rootstock.
b. Tillers
Types of cactus that can be propagated in this way is a cactus-sized round and short.
c. Grafting (Grafting, Enting)
The principle of grafting is to combine the two types of cactus to acquire a new crop of good quality and have a high selling price.
The switching method performed include:
- Method of connecting flat (Flat Grafting)
- Method of connection crack or split (Split Garafting)
- oblique connection method (Side Grafting)
Grafting cactus reproduce WAY
- Prepare the planting medium and pot
- Filling pots with planting medium and place the pot
- Selecting the parent rootstock (understeam)
- Planting rootstocks
- Selecting the parent stem above (entres)
- Cut the stem of the parent material
- Pasting scions on rootstock
PLACE PLANTING
Places that used to plant the pots. Pots that are used among others are made of: clay, plastic, cement, ceramics, glass and others.
PLANTING MEDIA
Planting medium that can be used for cactus plants can be combined with the materials available
* soil porous
* Organic fertilizer / compost cooked
* coarse sand, river sand,
* limestone powder
* pieces of fern
* wood charcoal powder

PLANTING
Planting cactus seeds implanted is intended to move the cactus from the nursery or from small pots into large pots for maintenance purposes permanently.
MAINTENANCE
Plant maintenance includes:
1. Placement of potted plants
2. Sprinkling
3. Fertilization
4. Sanitation and repotting
PEST
Pests are often a frequent attack cactus plants are:
1. Flea scales (Pseudococcus s.)
2. Flea shell (Aspidiotus sp.)
3.Kutu wool (Dactylopius tomentosus).
Pests can be controlled by using insecticides with a dose tailored to the requirements of Good Agribusiness Practises (GAP).
