Fire dragon fruit is very popular because it is rich in vitamin C and protein, and often eaten can have the effects of beauty and slimming, promoting gastrointestinal absorption, and preventing Alzheimer's disease, so many areas are planted in their own courtyards. Can dragon fruit be potted? How long will it last? Can potted plants bear fruit? How many years can it bear fruit?
Potted dragon fruit, like outdoor dragon fruit, will blossom and bear fruit. Generally, it begins to blossom and bear fruit 12-14 months after planting. It can blossom 12-15 times a year, yield from April to November, begin to mature 30-40 days after flowering, and the single fruit weighs 500-1000g. The second planting produces 20 per column and the third enters the full fruit stage. In the meantime, we must take good care of pitaya potted plants. Only by ensuring its survival can we see the results.
Potted dragon fruit method:
1. The choice of basin
Pitaya is a shallow-rooted plant. Prepare a mud basin with a drainage hole at the bottom. If there is no mud basin to find a wooden box, as long as it is good air permeability, it is best not to use plastic, too airtight containers. Before planting pitaya, soak the pot with clear water for several hours to discharge the dirty gas from the stomata on the basin wall, otherwise it will affect the root growth of the plant.
2. Selection of soil quality.
Planting dragon fruit should first find some neutral or slightly acidic soil, which must be loose and breathable, and alkaline soil is not conducive to cultivation. We can also make our own culture soil, which can be mixed with rotten leaf soil, manure soil and coarse river sand at 6:1:1.
3. Pot planting method
Cuttings are the easiest way to survive potted pitaya. As long as the seedlings grow roots and send out new branches, the pots can be moved. A water outlet should be made at the bottom of the basin, and a tile can be used around the hole to prevent sand from leaking out, or a layer of large pebbles can be laid first. Then pour into the soil, put the two seedlings on the mound, and the roots are scattered in the soil. Then gently press the soil on the edge of the basin with your hands, pour water through it, and move it to the balcony after a week.
4. Cultivation and management
The dragon fruit is very resistant to drought, so the water does not need to be irrigated too frequently, but to keep the soil moist, the organic fertilizer solution based on nitrogen fertilizer can be diluted once a week. The lateral buds on the stem branches should be removed and the item buds should be retained so that they can grow taller. When the plant is about 1 meter tall, cut off the stem tip about 3 centimeters long at the top, so that lateral branches can be sent out at the top so that they will not grow any more. When the apical lateral branch grows to about 50 cm. And then on the edge of the basin with a high bamboo pole, tie the crossbeam at the top of the bamboo pole, and tie the side branches to the crossbeam to make it flat or droop naturally. When the lateral branch is more than 80 cm, the stem tip should be cut off about 3 cm to reduce nutrition consumption, promote flower bud differentiation, and blossom and bear fruit earlier. If well managed, it will blossom in 7-8 months.
5. Management of florescence
The flowering period of dragon fruit is long, because many flowers are large, so the demand for nutrition is also high. In addition to the need to add fertilizer and water, organic liquid fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium should be applied every 5-7 days half a month before flowering. If potted dragon fruit is planted on the balcony or roof, because the amount of soil in the pot is small and the nutrition supply is limited, so the side branches should not stay too long, and only 1 fruit is recommended for each branch. Pitaya can be self-pollinated and fruited, and can be pollinated artificially under certain conditions. In the evening, when the flower is in full bloom, use a new brush to dip pollen from the stamen anther of one flower and bounce it on the pistil stigma of another flower.
