How to grow dragon fruit in autumn

How to grow dragon fruit in autumn

1. Suitable temperature

Generally speaking, the most suitable temperature for pitaya growth is 25 to 35 degrees. Although it is relatively tolerant of low and high temperatures, it grows vigorously within this range and produces good fruit. Therefore, as the temperature gradually drops in autumn, it is necessary to adjust the temperature. When the temperature drops very low, take appropriate cold-protection measures.

2. Suitable light

Dragon fruit itself is a fruit that grows in tropical and subtropical regions, so it is relatively light-loving. In autumn, providing sufficient light is another important task, as good light can promote fruiting. Especially in late autumn, light exposure is of great importance to its growth.

3. Appropriate amount of water

Its demand for water is moderate, so it is necessary to replenish water in moderation in autumn and avoid water accumulation. When autumn begins, it may be cloudy and rainy, and appropriate drainage measures need to be taken at this time. Otherwise, stagnant water will cause its stem flesh to rot due to bacterial infection.

4. Do a good job of wind protection

If the wind is strong in autumn, you should take wind protection measures. If wind cannot be avoided, it can be fixed with the help of tools such as brackets.

5. Repotting

If the dragon fruit is a small potted plant, you can change the pot in autumn. Be careful when choosing soil. It is best to use soil that has good water and fertilizer retention properties and is neutral or slightly acidic.
