How to make dragon fruit grow flower bud

The dragon fruit not only blossoms beautifully, but also can bear fruit, not only can be watched, but also can be eaten, and its stems and leaves are also tall and strong, if potted, the ornamental value is very high. On the other hand, the dragon fruit has a flower bud, which means that the bud is about to grow, followed by flowering and fruit. Where's Riley?

If you want the dragon fruit to differentiate into flower buds smoothly, you need to meet three basic conditions: temperature, humidity and nutrients. When these three conditions are met, flower buds will differentiate smoothly. Let's take a look at these three conditions.

I. temperature requirements

Temperature is one of the guarantee conditions for flower bud differentiation, but different varieties of dragon fruit have different requirements for temperature during flower bud differentiation. The dragon fruit generally begins to differentiate flower buds around March in spring, and it is most suitable to keep the temperature stable at about 20 °C. If the temperature is lower than 15 °C, the flower buds of most varieties will turn into branch buds except that a few varieties can differentiate flower buds smoothly.

II. Humidity requirements

Pitaya is often more likely to differentiate into flower buds when it is warm and moist, well lit and well ventilated. No matter its flower bud or branch bud, it has an important relationship with humidity. The dragon fruit has the characteristics of being wet and drought-tolerant. If we want it to differentiate flower buds smoothly, we need to properly improve the environmental humidity. Therefore, in addition to timely watering, if the air humidity is too low, but also spray more water to moisturize.

III. Nutrient requirements

Although the root system of dragon fruit is not very developed, it grows rapidly and consumes a lot of nutrients, so it has a large demand for nutrients, so it has the characteristics of being fond of fertilizer. Before the flowering season comes, we should prepare enough nutrients for it and suggest applying more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. In this way, it accumulates enough nutrients during the vegetative growth period, so that it can successfully turn to reproductive growth and differentiate into flower buds.
