Fire dragon fruit belongs to everyone's favorite fruit, it can be planted in the greenhouse, can also be raised in the balcony at home, and even can be planted into a pot, how to grow the results of dragon fruit at home?

Potted dragon fruit can be planted in a pot with a little seed or a branch, and the fruit is big and sweet.

1. Sow seeds with dragon fruit

When eating dragon fruit, the seeds stay, be sure to clean up the pulp on the seeds, otherwise it will affect the germination.

Choose more delicate soil to sow and spray water every two days.

The temperature sprouted at about 20 degrees. After planting, it grows slowly in the first two years and grows fast in the back. Where the temperature is right, it will blossom and bear fruit in about the third year.

Especially from April to November. The fruit ripens more than a month after flowering.

2. Cutting with branches

If the dragon fruit is cut with branches, it will bear fruit faster than sowing. If the soil is good and the environment is good, it will blossom and bear fruit in the second year.

Prepare about twenty centimeters of branches and cut them to dry for a day or two. Then cut it into the flowerpot to moisturize and shade. It usually begins to take root in a month.

If you want dragon fruit to bear fruit early, you need to apply fertilizer in time. Dragon fruit is a bit like a cactus, but it doesn't grow fast. Nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used to fertilize, a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer for many times.

When it grows to a little bigger, it is necessary to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and artificial pollination is needed for dragon fruit to blossom, so that dragon fruit can bear fruit smoothly.

Be sure to be well ventilated, sunny and fertile. Under the base fertilizer, you can use husk ash, matured manure, which is compared to cow dung, sheep manure and chicken manure, mixed into the surface layer of the soil, and then add some calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer to the deep position of the soil. If not, you can use some compound fertilizer.

If you sow seeds, you will usually bear fruit in three to four years, and you can bear fruit in the second year with branch cuttings. I really have a great sense of achievement when I eat my own dragon fruit at home. Autumn is coming, let's try to plant one.
