When will the dragon seedlings be transplanted?

The seedlings of dragon fruit are usually transplanted after cutting for 15-30 days, when the root grows to 3-4cm. When transplanting, try to carry out in March-October, and the flowerpot must be suitable when transplanting, and do a good job of heat preservation, especially in the north, we must consider the problem of winter.

How to transplant the dragon fruit seedlings after sprouting?

1. Sow seeds.

Take the fully ripe dragon fruit, separate the black seeds from the pulp, dry and sow the seeds, then cover them with a film, spray water once a day, usually sprout and grow seedlings in three or four days, lift the film off at this time, and then continue to spray water every day.

2. Transplant.

After three or four months of growth, the leaves of the developing dragon fruit seedlings will become thicker, like a young cactus, with small thorns on it. At this time, transplanting can be carried out. Transplanting time can be carried out from March to October every year.

3. Select the basin.

Once the dragon fruit survives, its life is very long, and a good one can survive for 20 years, so the flowerpot must be firm and of the right size when transplanting, and the problem of overwintering should also be taken into account when planting in the north, so it cannot be too big in winter. as a result, it is impossible to move indoors in winter, and the diameter of the flowerpot is about 35 cm with a drainage hole at the bottom.

4. Soil.

Mix 6 parts of common garden soil with 2 parts of sand, 2 parts of mushroom residue or furnace ash into a basin, height to 78% full.

5. Planting.

Pitaya is a superficial plant, so the root system should not be too deep when planting, as long as the soil covers the root system. Pitaya belongs to cross-pollination, so in general, it is best to plant two seedlings in one flowerpot. When planting, you need to pay attention to setting up a 1.2-meter-long stick in the middle of the basin, and tie the seedlings together with strings and sticks, so as to facilitate the upright growth of branches.

In short, dragon fruit seedlings can be transplanted when they grow to 3-4cm, but it is best to transplant in March-October, and basic management work such as water, fertilizer and heat preservation should be done after transplanting.
