High-yield planting technology of pitaya

1. Processing seeds

If you choose to plant dragon fruit from seeds, it is best to select a ripe fruit, separate the pulp and seeds, and wash them clean.

2. Sowing

The best time to sow pitaya is in spring, March or April. Because the seeds are relatively small, it is best to soak them in water to swell before sowing. In the later stage, control the temperature at around 25°C and cover with a layer of plastic film to keep warm and moist, which is more conducive to seed germination.
