How to grow dragon fruit at home

1. Choose a flower pot

Because the root system of pitaya is relatively shallow, you need to choose a shallow, air-permeable flower pot with bottom holes to plant it. This will ensure that its roots can breathe smoothly. If you don’t know what material to choose, it is recommended to use a clay pot. Do not use plastic pots because they have poor permeability and are not suitable for plant growth.

2. Make flower soil

Because it likes weakly acidic flower soil with many gaps inside, before planting it, you can prepare some leaf mold, base fertilizer and coarse sand, mix them evenly in a ratio of 6:1:1, and then make its flower soil.

3. Preparation

First, disinfect the flower soil and flower pot separately, and then put the soil into the pot. After that, prepare a healthy plant, select a branch with better growth from it, cut it off, treat it in disinfectant and rooting agent first, and then put it in a ventilated place to dry.

4. Take cuttings

Poke a hole in the prepared flower soil with chopsticks, then place the prepared branches in it, and use your hands to gather the flower soil around it to fill the hole and compact it. Then put it in a cool place, water it in time, keep the soil slightly moist, and wait for it to take root.
