Last Updated: 2024/11/09, The management of fertilizer and water must be strengthened during the period of hanging fruit, especially during the period of fruit expansion. Because the growth and development of the fruit needs to consume a lot of nutrients, but the fertilizer selected at this time should be targeted, all in order to increase the fruit setting rate, promote the fruit expansion and improve the fruit.

The management of fertilizer and water must be strengthened during the period of hanging fruit, especially during the period of fruit expansion. Because the growth and development of fruit needs to consume a lot of nutrients, but at this time the choice of fertilizer should be targeted, all for the purpose of increasing fruit setting rate, promoting fruit expansion and improving fruit quality.

Potted plants are different from ground-grown pitaya. Potted plants often have limited nutrients due to the limitation of space, so fertilization should be not only timely, but also diligent. As long as we can control the concentration, it will not cause fertilizer damage and fruit drop.

The fertilization in the fruiting period is different from that in the growing period, which is mainly supplemented with nitrogen in the growing period and phosphorus and potassium in the fruiting period. Therefore, in order to stabilize the fruit and promote the growth and development of the fruit, it is suggested that we should apply some mature organic fertilizer and high phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer during the fruit setting period.

Under normal circumstances, a pot of small pitaya can apply at least half a jin of mature organic fertilizer and water, while large pitaya can apply 10 jin of mature organic fertilizer and water. At the same time, add about 200 grams of high phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer to organic fertilizer and water, mix well and irrigate the pitaya pot.

However, the irrigation method should also be correct, and the root should not be irrigated directly. It is usually poured uniformly along the inner wall of the flowerpot, and the frequency is controlled to be applied once every 10-15 days. In general, topdressing only 2-3 times during fruit setting can meet the nutrient needs of fruit growth and development.

Of course, during the fruiting period of dragon fruit, we usually apply organic fertilizer, and properly supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers such as calcium superphosphate and potassium sulfate, which can also promote fruit sugar accumulation and improve fruit quality.

At the same time, we also need to do a good job in moisturizing the potted plants, and we can properly spray the stems and leaves of the dragon fruit, which can not only moisturize the branches, but also promote the plant to grow aerial roots. Because dragon fruit prefers bright, warm and humid growth environment, but requires good ventilation.
