How to grow dragon fruit, how to grow dragon fruit

There are various ways to grow dragon fruit, which can be planted by climbing walls or by building sheds, but the pillar cultivation is the most common, and its advantages are low production cost and high land utilization.

Preparation 1 2 months before planting dig a 50cm 50cm 50cm planting hole in each square of the cement pillar, apply 15kg of rotted chicken manure (or 30kg of pig manure) + 1kg of lime as base fertilizer in each hole, mix and backfill with the proportion of soil 1 1, to 20cm from the ground, and then return to the decomposed topsoil to 20cm out of the ground 25cm. After 2 or 3 heavy rains, the mound is destroyed or sinks, and then the topsoil is replanted for 3 5cm and then planted. 2. Planting The planting time is selected from March to April every year.

At this time, the light, water and temperature are suitable for the rapid growth of dragon fruit, and it can bloom and bear fruit after May of the following year.

Here's how:1. To plant dragon fruit, you need to choose sandy soil with good air permeability, loose soil and fertile soil.

2. Prepare the seeds of dragon fruit, clean them, and dry them on the surface.

3. Soak the seeds in warm water to speed up germination.

4. Wrap the seeds with wet paper towels for germination.

5. Sow the seeds into the soil and cover the thin soil.

6. Water once permeable, keep enough water in the soil, and wait for the seedlings to grow.

Generally speaking, if you plant dragon fruit, the main method is to disinfect the seeds first, then soak them in warm water to promote germination, choose organic soil with strong drainage, ensure that there are 5 to 6 hours of light time every day after planting, maintain the principle of thin fertilizer and frequent application, and topping and combing treatment.

For how to plant dragon fruit to achieve high yield, first to ensure the quality of the seeds, generally choose mature and non-rotten dragon fruit seeds, and then clean the seeds with clean water to clean the impurities, and put them in a sunny environment to dry for about 1 3 days.

Then the dried seeds are disinfected with a small amount of potassium permanganate solution, and then soaked in clean water at a temperature of about 20 degrees for about 1 2 days, and finally the soaked seeds are placed on a wet cloth and placed in a greenhouse at a temperature of about 25 degrees for germination treatment, and they can germinate after about a week.

Since dragon fruit likes to grow in the soil of loose and drainable organic substrates, it can generally be mixed with coarse sand, humus, gravel, and forest soil in accordance with the ratio of 3:2:2:1, and then poured in an appropriate amount of water to keep the potting soil moist.

Then the seedlings are placed in the soil, the bud end is downward and covered with thin soil, keep the spacing at about 10 cm, it is best to pour a small amount of water in time, and then place it in an environment with a temperature of about 25 degrees, and keep a minimum of 5 to 6 hours of light per day.

After planting, it is best to maintain the fertilization principle of thin fertilizer at the seedling stage, about every 22 days or so, a small amount of organic fertilizer solution is applied, supplemented by nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and potassium fertilizer should be appropriately increased during flowering to promote the formation of flower buds of plants and improve quality.

After planting, during the seedling period, cut off the excess side buds in time, retain the 1 2 top buds of the main stalk, cut off the overly dense branches during the growth period, and when the branches grow to more than 1 meter, they should be topped to promote the growth and development of the branches and ensure the concentration of nutrients.
