A few of the potted dragon fruit plants I planted have rotten roots! What s going on?

The problem of root rot in potted dragon fruit is mainly caused by excessive watering or excessive fertilization.

1: The root rot phenomenon of dragon fruit caused by excessive watering, it is not easy to be too wet when watering, and the soil that is too wet is easy to accumulate water to produce root rot and root rot. It is best to keep the soil dry and watered, so that it is not dry and watered, so that it is conducive to the growth of the root system and is not prone to root rot.

Two: excessive fertilization is easy to cause root burning, root necrosis, fertilization is best according to the amount of fertilizer buried, to the pot to dig a hole into the appropriate amount of fertilizer to bury the symptoms of root burning, bury fertilizer try not to rely on the taproot too close, away from the taproot is not easy to cause the problem of burning roots to produce rotten roots.

Dragon fruit grows rapidly in a warm, humid and well-lit environment, and should be watered more in spring and summer when cultivated in the open field to keep its root system in a vigorous growth state, and should be drained in time in rainy weather to avoid infection with germs and cause stem flesh rot. Dragon fruit is resistant to 0 low temperature and 40 high temperature, in order to ensure its perennial growth and multiple fruits, try to reach a suitable temperature of 20 30, the northern planting must build a greenhouse, and the temperature at night in winter is not less than 8. In summer, the plastic film should not be removed, but it must be ventilated.

Dragon fruit orchards do not need to be ploughed, and weeds can be cut in time. Dragon fruit has a thick waxy layer, smooth appearance, no bagging, and saves labor and time. Dragon fruit generally has no insect pests, occasionally there are nematodes in the roots, and red spiders in the stems and leaves, so it can be controlled in time.

If you water too much, it may also be that your soil does not drain, you should plant dragon fruit seeds in the sand to raise seedlings, you are not afraid of how much water you water, the sand will drain the excess water, and then transplant it into the nutrient soil when you grow up, dragon fruit is afraid of big water.

Dragon fruit seed propagation requires high technology, and is prone to genetic mutation, it is best to choose a well-growing plant branch cut and cuttings to propagate, which can not only maintain the original fruit tree traits, but also easy to grow.

Overwatering! Dragon fruit is afraid of waterlogging and drought, likes sunlight, and prefers loose soil.

Dragon fruit is easy to rot when planted, use a "trick", it will take root by itself, and it will not rot at all.

Dragon fruit takes three to five years to grow before it blooms, and it doesn't bloom until in the tropics.

First: It is best to plant more than two dragon fruits at home to facilitate pollination, and do not set too much fruit in potted dragon fruits, otherwise it will affect the quality of the fruit.

Second: After the flowers are fully opened, use a plastic bottle to collect pollen, then tear another flower apart, leak out of the stigma, and brush the pollen on the stigma with a brush.

Dragon fruit matures in a month from flowering to fruiting, and in autumn you can take cuttings from pruned branches and plant a few more pots on the balcony.

Balcony watering management method: dragon fruit likes moisture, cold resistance is very strong, in the summer balcony dragon fruit should be watered more to maintain.

Dragon fruit fertilization method: dragon fruit fertilization should be based on the principle of thin fertilizer diligent application, mainly organic fertilizer, 1 2 years to apply nitrogen fertilizer, more than three years to phosphate fertilizer, remember to thin fertilizer diligent application as the principle, can be used to supplement nutrients with Trim special fertilizer.

Dragon fruit light management method: Dragon fruit likes a sunny environment, try to put it in a sunny place.

Balcony dragon fruit flowering management: dragon fruit generally does not need to be pollinated manually, but the flowers raised on the balcony are less pollinated by bees and butterflies, so it is best to use artificial pollination to ensure that each flower can be pollinated successfully.

Being able to see sunlight and being in an environment above zero degrees is the basic condition Pollination is key.

Choose to use large potted plants to ensure that they can accommodate enough soil and nutrients, if possible, it is best to plant more than two trees, dragon fruit is cross-pollinated, one plant in the early flowering stage, if it only blooms one flower a day, there is no pollination of more than two flowers of each other, it can only only bloom and not bear fruit. If you plant more pots, you will be able to hang a lot of fruit in a year.

The potting method of dragon fruit first requires the preparation of relevant materials: the raw material is a ripe dragon fruit; planting with gravel, soil, and plastic wrap; Strainer cloth for obtaining seeds from dragon fruit pulp, strainer screen.

The planting steps are divided into three stages: obtaining seeds, planting seeds, and transplanting seedlings, and each stage is as follows

To obtain the seeds: take a ripe dragon fruit, remove some of the pulp and soak it in water to crush the pulp. Then sieve it with a filter cloth several times to remove any excess pulp. Repeat with a strainer several times until the pulp is completely separated from the seeds. Collect the seeds and dry them.

Planting seeds: Take an impermeable pot, put some gravel at the bottom (usually some bonsai shops will sell this kind of gravel), and put the soil to cover the gravel. Sprinkle the dried seeds in the soil and lightly spray with a watering can (note: do not pour water directly).

Cover with plastic wrap and sprinkle water with a watering can every other day. After 3-5 days, the seeds start to germinate, and you can remove the plastic wrap that covers them.

Transplanting seedlings: After a while, the seedlings will start to grow taller again. After a few weeks, the seedlings begin to grow into "cacti" with small spines. This condition lasts for a few days, and when the seedlings grow a little thicker, they can be poured out of the potter and planted separately until they bloom and bear fruit.

The purpose of separate planting is to make the seedlings nutritious enough so that they do not fail to bloom and bear fruit.

One: Home potted plants can be self-prepared with cultivation soil. Use 6 parts of humus soil, 2 parts of manure soil, and 2 parts of coarse river sand, and mix them evenly. Stack for more than half a month for later use.

2: Potted dragon fruit is best to choose cuttings seedlings, as long as the seedlings have roots and send out new branches, the seedlings can be transplanted to pots.

Three: Dragon fruit is a drought-tolerant plant, rather dry than wet, not dry, not watered. Once a week, water the organic fertilizer solution based on nitrogen fertilizer, not too thick. Although dragon fruit is a sun-loving plant. But in the middle of the day, when the sun is too strong in summer, it should also be properly shaded.

Four; Balcony and roof potted dragon fruit, because of the small amount of potting soil and the limitation of nutrition, so the side branches can not be too long, each branch can not exceed 3 flowers, and finally pick two to eat, leaving only 1 fruit.

Five: After November every year, the fruit is basically harvested. At this time, it is necessary to apply a base fertilizer, the method is to dig up about 10 cm deep with a small shovel of the soil around the pot edge, temporarily pile the soil at the root of the plant, and then apply the organic fertilizer mixed with manure and chicken manure, and then reduce the soil, water it once permeable, and prepare for winter.

Go to the supermarket and buy a dragon fruit, go home and throw it in a pot to grow and eat yourself, so you don't have to buy it next year.

It will work out! If you take care of it, it will bear fruit. Dragon fruit is a shallow-rooted plant, which can be planted in pots, and there is no need to change pots during cultivation;

Of course it will, but the pots should not be too small.

Potted dragon fruit in the growth of the cherry blossom stroke, if the roots rot, then the plant will stop growing, you need to immediately cut off the rotten roots, and reconfigure the potting soil maintenance, lack of light when it needs to be placed in the full sun maintenance, nutrients are insufficient immediately to the potting soil to apply fertilizer, winter low temperature plant frostbite, the frostbitten branches and leaves are cut off, but also to control the ambient temperature at about 10.

1. Rotten roots

If the roots of potted dragon fruit are rotten due to improper water and fertilizer and unsuitable soil, then it will not be able to absorb the water and nutrients in the soil, so it will be difficult to grow taller, and the rotten roots need to be treated immediately, and it needs to be equipped with new potting soil, and it can be re-potted and maintained.

2. Lack of light

If the potted dragon fruit lacks sunlight, then it will be difficult for the plant to grow normally, so that the plant does not grow tall, and may even cause the plant to grow, at this time, it needs to be moved to the full sun to carefully maintain, the ridge in front of the sun with the help of the sun, can resist the plant regret not growing, so that it continues to grow taller in the potting soil.

3. Insufficient nutrients

In fact, potted dragon fruit has a high demand for nutrients, so why does potted dragon fruit not grow tall, it is likely to be caused by insufficient nutrients in the plant, at this time, it is necessary to immediately apply fertilizer to the plant, but it is not advisable to fertilize it excessively, so as to make the potted dragon fruit grow well.

4. Frostbite of plants

Potted dragon fruit has a certain cold tolerance, but if the temperature is lower than 15, then it will stop growing, and when the plant is lower than 5, then the potted dragon fruit will grow taller, and the frostbitten branches and leaves need to be treated immediately, and the temperature must be controlled at about 10 to make the plant grow.
