1. Choose a flower pot

When preparing to plant pitaya at home, you must first choose a more suitable flower pot for it. Generally speaking, the flower pot cannot restrict its growth, and the bottom of the pot must have air holes to drain excess water. It is best to choose ceramics. The diameter of the flower pot should be more than 35cm.

2. Suitable soil

When planting pitaya at home, you must choose soil that suits its growth needs. Pitaya does not like soil with heavy alkalinity, so its soil can choose the prepared nutrient soil, which can be bought in general flower markets. The air permeability of the soil should be good so that the cactus can better absorb oxygen.

3. Potted method

When growing pitaya at home, you can choose cuttings. First, put some tiles and stones in the flowerpot. This will allow the pitaya seedlings to better drain excess water. After doing this, put the prepared soil into the flowerpot, and then put the seedlings and a wooden stick into the soil to tie them together. This will help the seedlings grow correctly.

4. Proper fertilization

In the pitaya potted planting method, fertilization is also very important. Generally speaking, it is best to choose organic fertilizer. When fertilizing, you must grasp the amount. Don't give it too much at one time. This is not conducive to its digestion and absorption, and it is also easy to cause it to have excess nutrition, which is not conducive to its growth.

5. Reasonable watering

Dragon fruit is a tropical species, so it does not require much water, so it cannot be watered frequently. You need to see if the soil is completely dry. If it is dry, water it, and wet the soil all at once. Otherwise, if you water it frequently, it will cause its roots to rot and cause the death of the plant.

2. 4 precautions for potted dragon fruit

1. Appropriate temperature

When planting dragon fruit, strictly control its temperature. It cannot grow in a too low environment and it is easy to freeze to death. Therefore, in winter, you must pay attention to maintaining its temperature, often expose it to sunlight, and take constant temperature protection measures for it.

2. Apply thin fertilizer frequently

When applying fertilizer to dragon fruit, it is necessary to follow the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently. It cannot absorb too many nutrients at one time, so when applying fertilizer to it, it is necessary to dilute the fertilizer with clean water before watering it, or add the fertilizer into the water every time it is watered.

3. Artificial pollination

When pitaya is about to bear fruit, human support is needed, because the ratio of its own successful pollination and fruiting is too low, so if you want it to bear more fruit, you need to pollinate it artificially, so that it can have a higher fruiting rate and better fruit quality.

4. Remove flower buds

When pitaya grows flower buds, it will grow a lot at one time, and the quality is different. Only the weaker flower buds can be removed manually, so that the remaining flower buds can absorb more nutrients, so that its flowers can bloom better, and the quality of its fruit can be better.
