What are the conditions for planting dragon fruit?
Pitaya is a tropical fruit, which is widely planted in tropical provinces in China. Naturally growing pitaya is generally ripe in summer and autumn every year. The dragon fruit tastes sweet, has plenty of fruit juice and has more comprehensive nutrients. Many people want to plant in a large area, but because of the environmental requirements of dragon fruit, the output is not very high. So what conditions do you need to grow dragon fruit? Let's take a look at it.
1. Soil
The requirement of dragon fruit on soil is not very high, the adaptability is relatively strong, and it can grow normally in most of the soil. Especially some grafted dragon fruit, its adaptability is stronger. However, if you want to plant a fat and high-yield dragon fruit, try to choose a soil with fertile and loose soil, good drainage and irrigation, and strong permeability, which is conducive to the growth of the plant.
2. Lighting
Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit, so the demand for light is very large, is a kind of light-loving fruit, can adapt to direct light for a long time. If there is not enough light time and intensity in the growth process, it will seriously reduce photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is one of the main channels to promote fruit nutrition accumulation, so it will lead to smaller fruit and lower yield.
3. Temperature
The dragon fruit is resistant to high temperature but not cold, and the average growth temperature of the whole growth period should not be lower than 18 degrees. And because dragon fruit is a tropical crop, the best temperature for growth is about 30 degrees. If the temperature exceeds the range of 10-40 degrees, the growth rate of dragon fruit will become extremely slow or even interrupted, so it is not suitable to grow dragon fruit in areas with lower average temperatures such as the north.
4. Fertilizer
Fire dragon fruit in a suitable growth environment, its growth rate will be much faster than ordinary fruits, so the demand for nutrition is also relatively large. Therefore, we should regularly topdressing fertilizer in planting, in the early stage of planting, topdressing fertilizer is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer can accelerate the growth rate of the plant. In the middle and later stage, it is necessary to balance the nutrients of the plant, mainly to promote plant photosynthesis. We should pay attention to the amount of nitrogen fertilizer, must not be too much, otherwise it is easy to grow too much.
5. Moisture
Although the dragon fruit grows in the tropics and has a strong ability to resist drought, it needs more water in the process of its growth. If there is no timely water supply leading to the lack of water, the growth of dragon fruit will be seriously hindered, light will reduce the growth rate, serious will cause dragon fruit to stop growing, the plant will show obvious symptoms of water shortage, and finally wither and die.
These are the conditions needed to grow dragon fruit, in fact, the temperature alone restricts the cultivation of dragon fruit in many places. Of course, you can also use the planting method of greenhouse, but the quality may be slightly lower. Conditional also need to consider planting technology, market time and market demand and other factors, to ensure their own economic interests. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it will be helpful to you.
