Overview of Watering Dragon FruitWhen watering pitaya, you should water it when the soil is dry. This dryness only refers to the surface of the soil, not the entire pot of soil is dry. If the surface of the soil is still somewhat moist, there is no need to water it. Be sure to wait until the surface of the soil is dry before watering. How to judge watering: insert a long bamboo stick into the soil, wait for a while and take it out to see if it is dry or wet to judge the water consumption. If the bamboo stick is relatively dry or only the lower half is wet, then water it. How often should you water your dragon fruit? Pitaya should generally be watered once a week, and the frequency can be increased appropriately during the growing season. In winter, when the temperature drops, you can reduce the number of waterings. Should you water thoroughly when watering: Dragon fruit should be watered thoroughly each time, and the soil in the pot needs to be kept moist at all times, but be careful not to allow water to accumulate. The correct way to water dragon fruitWatering can be more frequent in spring and summer, but the frequency of watering should be controlled in winter. Water once every few days on normal days, and adjust the frequency based on the climate and the looseness of the soil. Water only when the soil is dry. What kind of water is best for watering: In order not to affect the growth of pitaya, clean water should be used for watering. Generally, tap water that has been left for a few days will be sufficient. Watering should be moderate: the amount of water should not be too much. Usually, it is enough to water the soil in the pot thoroughly. It likes water, but its roots cannot be soaked in water. A slightly moist soil can meet its water requirements for growth. Watering method and skills: If the dragon fruit seedlings are transplanted with soil without root trimming, they usually need to be watered once after being potted as rooting water. However, they usually do not need to be watered again within a week. Just place the pot in a cool and ventilated place to slow down the growth of the seedlings. Newly planted dragon fruit needs to be watered once to root, and then watered a second time when the soil is completely dry. Dragon fruit watering precautionsWhen watering the dragon fruit, you must be careful not to water it when it is already lacking water, because it has already been affected at this time, which will be very unfavorable for its future growth. This is why you must check the soil humidity before watering, and ensure that it is between 60% and 80%. Because dragon fruit can grow better in desert areas and can tolerate water shortage. |
