Dragon Fruit Pot Planting Method
A small knowledge of life, introducing the dragon fruit pot planting method and the small experience of green plant maintenance with pictures of dragon fruit cutting method, next, the editor will introduce.
Dragon fruit is a cultivated variety of cactaceae, a fruit growing in tropical and subtropical regions, native to Central American countries such as Guatemala and Colombia. It tastes sweet, the flesh is rich in various vitamins and other nutrients, and it also has the effects of promoting intestinal peristalsis, lowering cholesterol, and preventing colorectal cancer. Next, let me introduce the cultivation method of dragon fruit pot.
1. Seed Selection
Seeds can be directly selected from the flesh of dragon fruit, and the number of seeds depends on the size of the pot. Since the remaining flesh can cause bacterial growth, it is important to remove the flesh first.
2. Selecting Potting Soil
It is necessary to choose well-drained and breathable sandy soil and a pot of appropriate size for dragon fruit. Since the root system of dragon fruit is shallow, the drainage of the soil is especially important, and the pot should also be selected with a drainage hole to prevent water accumulation, preferably a ceramic pot. In addition, it is necessary to disinfect the soil before planting.
3. Cutting
For cutting, you can directly choose cutting seedlings, select suitable and strong branches, and insert them into the soil. Some tiles and stones can be placed in the soil to increase the breathability and drainage of the potting soil. In addition, after inserting the branch into the soil, insert a stick into the soil at the same time, tie the stick and the branch together, which can make the plant form more upright.
4. Watering
Dragon fruit is drought-resistant and afraid of waterlogging, so it is essential to drain water in time during the planting process. In spring and summer, the frequency of watering can be increased, and it is important to drain water in rainy seasons.
5. Light
Dragon fruit likes light and is shade-tolerant. Sufficient light can promote the photosynthesis of dragon fruit, speed up its growth rate, and increase the sugar content in the flesh. In the summer noon, it is necessary to provide appropriate shading to avoid direct sunlight, otherwise, it will cause excessive evaporation of plant water.
6. Temperature
As a fruit native to tropical and subtropical regions, dragon fruit prefers warm and high temperatures, and its cold resistance is also considerable. The most suitable temperature for the growth of dragon fruit is between 25-35 degrees. It can still grow when the temperature in summer reaches 40 degrees. However, when waiting for newly planted pots to germinate, it is important to keep them warm. If the temperature is too low, you can cover the new pots with plastic film to keep warm.
7. Diseases and Pests
White绢 disease is one of the most common diseases and pests of dragon fruit, mainly caused by the wound of the plant being exposed to a humid environment for a long time, causing bacterial infection. At this time, the affected part should be cut off directly, or the ulcerated tissue should be cut open, and sulfur-phosphorus powder should be applied to the affected area, or the affected area should be dried in a dry environment to heal naturally.
The above sharing of dragon fruit pot planting method and the comprehensive method explanation of dragon fruit cutting method pictures, I hope to solve your problems in green plants.
