Do you want to fertilize the dragon fruit when it bears fruit?

The root system of dragon fruit is not very developed, it is a kind of shallow root plant, so pot planting must not be deeply implanted, otherwise it will affect the growth and development of root system. But it is a more fertile plant, after all, its stems and leaves are strong and full, but also can blossom and bear fruit, it is bound to consume a lot of nutrients.

When applying fertilizer to dragon fruit, we should usually adhere to the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently, and do not use too much fertilizer or too much fertilizer, otherwise it is very easy to damage its root system. In the vegetative growing season, thin organic fertilizer is usually applied every 7-10 days, so that it can blossom smoothly.

The fruiting period of dragon fruit is the period when a lot of nutrients are consumed. After all, the fruit needs to grow and mature, so it usually needs to be fertilized properly. However, we must choose a good type of fertilizer for the purpose of promoting fruit growth and development and strong fruit.

In the stage of fruit development, we can spray foliar fertilizer for 3-5 times for potted dragon fruit, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, nucleotide, organic liquid fertilizer and so on. During this period, some phosphate fertilizers such as bone powder and calcium superphosphate can also be applied properly to prevent fruit shedding.

In the fruit expansion period, fertilizer and water management should be strengthened, but also to topdressing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, combined with watering, which can play a role in promoting fruit expansion. At the same time, the fermented and rotten organic fertilizer can be combined with high phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer. It should be applied every 10-15 days, generally only 2-3 times.
