How should dragon fruit be pruned? How to promote flower bud differentiation?

As the new shoots grow, the dragon fruit should grow strong side branches, and the rest of the branches should be cut off in time. It can concentrate nutrients and make strong branches grow quickly.

I feel like the side buds should be mainly removed. Because the side branches germinate in the growth of seedlings, a strong and upward branch should be retained, and the rest of the side branches need to be cut off in time, which is conducive to concentrated nutrition for strong branches to climb up quickly. Remove all the shoots and allow nutrients to accumulate and store in the mesophyll of the old branches, and the main mesophyll will quickly thicken in a short period of time, and the color will become darker, which is conducive to flowering.

Dragon fruit often grows side buds on the stem when the seedlings grow, in order to avoid it from consuming nutrients, we have to prune it, for the pruning of adult trees, it is necessary to put it after the flowering and fruiting stage, and prune off the drooping old branches. Dragon fruit has a lot of aerial roots, which can be transformed into absorbing roots. Carry out hole expansion and soil modification, and can also be tied.

As the new shoots grow, side branches should grow, keep the strong branches, and the rest of the branches should be cut off in time. Helps to concentrate nutrients so that strong branches rise quickly. It is possible to separate more than three branches that droop naturally, and the upper and middle branches, especially the branches that hang down, have a high rate of flowering and fruit.

How to prune and bloom dragon fruit: Use sharp scissors to cut off the side branches and leaves on the tip of the seedling.

If you want dragon fruit to bloom, you can use sharp scissors to cut off the side branches and leaves on the top of the seedling when it is in the seedling stage to avoid the loss of excess nutrients, promote the dragon fruit to bloom and bear fruit, and need to be fertilized every other month to provide the nutrients needed for the growth of the dragon fruit, so that it can grow more vigorously.

Dragon fruit cultivation method1. Seeds: When breeding dragon fruit, you need to take out the black seeds from the ripe fruits, and then wash and dry the seeds.

2. Seedling: Sprinkle dragon fruit seeds on loose and breathable sandy soil.

3. Planting: Transplant dragon fruit seedlings that grow up to 7 cm high into slightly acidic fertile soil.

4. Maintenance: control the ambient temperature between 20-30 degrees.

The pruning methods of dragon fruit flowering include: seedling pruning and flowering pruning.

1. Seedling pruning.

If you want dragon fruit to bloom, you can use sterilized scissors or knives to remove the leaves and other side branches on the top of the seedlings when they grow to 10cm tall, which can avoid the loss of excess nutrients and reduce the consumption of dragon fruit. Dragon fruit concentrates on the supply of nutrients through soil nutrients to promote the flowering and fruiting of dragon fruit.

2. Prune during the flower tease loss period.

After the dragon fruit blooms, you need to use scissors to cut off the dead flowers and residual flowers on the plant to avoid the plant consuming a lot of nutrients. It is also necessary to cut off the elongated branches and leaves and fruiting branches on the Fire Dragon Mountain Disturbing God Fruit, so that the fruit will be sweeter. Once the dragon fruit bears fruit, it needs to be pruned again to make it grow more vigorously in the coming year.

Precautions for dragon fruit planting.

Dragon fruit prefers a warm, sunny environment with a suitable growing temperature of 20-30 degrees Celsius. When choosing a planting site, you should choose a place with plenty of sunlight and good ventilation. Dragon fruit prefers loose, well-drained soil.

Sandy or sandy soils can be chosen, while adding the right amount of humus or humus to improve soil texture. Dragon fruit plants are thriving, and can be set up with scaffolds or canes to help the plants climb and grow. At the same time, prune the plants in time to promote the growth of branches and the formation of flower buds.

For dragon fruit plants, watering should be moderate. Avoid water accumulation that can lead to root rot. Keep the soil moist when it is hot in summer, but avoid overwatering.

Dragon fruit needs the right amount of nutrients during the growing season**. Organic fertilizers can be applied once a month, or compound fertilizers containing elements such as phosphorus and potassium can be used.

Dragon fruit needs to be pruned every 10 days at the seedling stage to bloom.

In the seedling stage of the dragon fruit, it needs to be pruned to remove some excess branches. Keep some of the dragon fruit's robust and thick shoots and remove the rest completely. Pruning dragon fruit once every 10 days can make the nutrients more concentrated, which is conducive to the formation of dragon fruit flower buds.

When the growth height of dragon fruit reaches 10 cm, it can be topped. At about centimeters of the dragon fruit plant, use a sharp blade to prune the top shoots of the dragon fruit.

Make sure that the top branch is flat, put it in a ventilated and cool place, and wait for the wound to dry. It is necessary to remove some dead branches and rotten leaves of dragon fruit in time, which can reduce excess nutrient consumption. During the growing period of dragon fruit, timely pruning makes the nutrients more concentrated, which can promote the germination of new branches and leaves.

Shorten some of the dragon fruit's excessively long branches, which can also concentrate nutrients and bloom petals.

Post-cut management of dragon fruit

After each pruning, you need to do a good job of treatment, can not immediately water and fertilize the dragon fruit, otherwise the attack will cause the wound to ulcerate, affect the growth of dragon fruit, it is best to put it in a cool place after a week of breeding, and then water and fertilize it, and then put it in a place with sufficient sunlight to breed, which can promote it to grow better, and continue to bloom delicious dragon fruit in the second year.

Dragon fruit does not need too much water, does not need a lot of watering it, spring and autumn need to be watered every 5 7 days, summer needs to be watered every 3 4 days, winter needs to be watered every 12 14 days, dragon fruit in spring, need to be applied every 20 days nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, fruit period needs to be every half a month potassium, magnesium fertilizer, to promote the fruit to grow more delicious.

The dragon fruit pruning method is as follows:

1. After the young tree survives, it will produce a large number of side branches, and the side branches should be cut off in time to promote the growth of the plant. When the plant height reaches about 1 meter, the topping treatment is carried out to promote the growth of drooping branches and promote the differentiation of flower buds.

2. A large number of branches will be produced during the growth of dragon fruit saplings, and the overly dense branches are often thinned, and the long branches are shortened to maintain a reasonable plant shape, reduce nutrient consumption, increase ventilation and light transmission, and promote flowering and fruiting.

3. Adult trees are mainly pruned after flowering and pruning after fruiting. After flowering, remove the residual flowers and cut off the long branches and fruiting branches. After fruiting, the fruiting branches are shortened again, and the long, overly dense and weakened branches are thinned.

Cultivation management of dragon fruit

1. Thin fertilizer is applied frequently: the harvest period of dragon fruit is long, so organic fertilizer needs to be applied every year, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers can be applied for a long time; Potassium and magnesium fertilizers should be added during the flowering period to promote the accumulation of sugar in the fruit and improve the quality of the fruit. Some water can be sprayed during fruiting to keep the soil moist.

2. Pruning treatment: After the picking, the dragon fruit plants need to prune off the bad branches, and the plants will grow new plants after pruning to ensure the yield of the next year.

3.Pest control: dragon fruit at the seedling stage is susceptible to ants, and insecticides can be used to prevent and control them.

In the season of high temperature and high humidity, it is easy to be infected with diseases, and there will be some symptoms of branch necrosis and mildew, which can be prevented and controlled by powdered rust and strong copper oxide.

Through the pruning operation, the dragon fruit can be more fruitful. When the dragon fruit grows to 1 meter, it is topped to encourage the growth of new side branches. Remove the long branches and leaves on the plant, do not touch the water after pruning, and do not accept direct sunlight.

In order to make the dragon fruit more fruiting ability and the number of fruits is larger, when the dragon fruit grows to about 1 meter, it is topped. The function of topping is to allow the plant to produce new side branches, increasing the probability of fruiting, so the top of the leaf 3 5 cm can be pruned.

Dragon fruit plants may have long branches and leaves due to overnutrition, etc. This type of foliage not only causes unnecessary nutrient depletion, but also robs the limited growing space, and needs to be pruned in time to ensure that the fruit has room to multiply.

After pruning, the fruit will not grow immediately, but will provide a better environment for the growth of dragon fruit. No matter how well the pruning is, the wound can not be touched by water, and the plant can not be exposed to direct sunlight, and the incision can be healed after 1 or 2 weeks of adaptation in a semi-shaded and ventilated environment.

Ordinary gardening pruning tools can be used to treat dragon fruit plants. Before use, the tools need to be disinfected and sterilized, and tools with sharp edges should be selected. It is advisable to wear a pair of thick gloves to avoid cutting your fingers.

If you want the dragon fruit to produce more fruit, when the dragon fruit tree grows to about 1 meter, you can carry out a topping treatment, pruning off the top 3 5 cm leaves of the dragon fruit tree to encourage it to sprout more side branches. In addition, it is necessary to prune off the long branches and leaves on the dragon fruit tree in time to reduce the consumption of nutrients and ensure that the fruit has enough space to breed.

If you want to make dragon fruit bear more fruits, when the dragon fruit tree grows to about 1, meters, it needs to be topped, you can prune and wash the 3 5 cm leaves at the top of the dragon fruit, and carry out topping treatment, which can make the dragon fruit germinate more side branches, thereby improving the fruiting rate.

Dragon fruit trees are prone to some long branches and leaves in the growth process, at this time need to be properly pruned, if not pruned in time will cause unnecessary nutrient consumption, and will rob the limited growth space, so it is necessary to prune off the long branches and leaves in time to ensure that the fruit has space for breeding.

After pruning, you can spray carbendazim solution on the wound of the dragon fruit tree for sterilization and disinfection, and apply grass and trees to the wound to avoid water contamination of the wound. Note that it is also necessary to avoid strong light exposure, and the dragon fruit tree can be placed in a semi-shaded environment for 1 to 2 weeks, and the wound will heal.

When pruning dragon fruit trees, it is also necessary to choose the right tools. It is advisable to use sterilized gardening scissors for pruning, wear gloves to avoid cutting your fingers, and ensure that the wound is smooth so that the dragon fruit tree can resume growth as soon as possible.

At the seedling stage, before growing to a meter height.

When dragon fruit grows, it will sprout several buds, and when it is a seedling, the side buds should be cut off, leaving only the topmost bud. Cut about once every two weeks.

If the topmost bud doesn't grow well, then pick the best bud and cut off all the seedlings on top of this bud.

When the branches grow to a height of about 1 meter, they are supported and tied with a stiff pole. Hard poles can be cement pillars, iron poles, wooden poles, bamboo poles, etc.

When the dragon fruit seedlings grow to a meter height (bonsai planting can be appropriately lowered). Leave 3-5 branches and let them grow naturally. Shoots higher than meters should be cut to meter height.

After flowering and fruiting, the long-fruited side branches should be selectively cut off to keep the good fruit. Side branches should be cut to the roots. If there are too many fruit-bearing branches, a part of it should be selectively cut off to ensure that the nutrients are given to the fruit.

After the fruit is harvested. Cut off the fruit-bearing branches that hang vertically. Guaranteed production for the coming year.

In different growing periods of dragon fruit, fertilization is also different. One to two years old dragon fruit is mainly applied with nitrogen fertilizer; Adult dragon fruit trees that are more than three years old are mainly phosphate and potassium fertilizers; It is recommended to use water-soluble fertilizer for sea food to promote better growth. About half a month before flowering, apply some organic fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium again; After the dragon fruit enters the fruiting period, organic fertilizer is applied every 15 to 20 days.

If it is a potted dragon fruit, it is recommended not to apply solid fertilizer and mixed fertilizer, as it will affect the absorption of fertilizer and water by dragon fruit for a long time.
