Morphological characteristicsPitaya is a fruit of the genus Pitaya in the Cactaceae family. This fruit is a perennial climbing succulent plant. The plant has no taproot, but has a large number of lateral roots distributed in the shallow soil layer, and has many aerial roots that allow it to climb. The rhizome is dark green and relatively thick, generally growing to 7 meters, and the stem thickness is generally about 10 to 12 centimeters. Growth environmentDragon fruit is a tropical and subtropical fruit, so it prefers plenty of sunlight and is relatively shade-tolerant, heat-tolerant and drought-tolerant. It prefers fertilizer and has a certain tolerance to barrenness. It can grow rapidly in a warm, humid and well-lit environment. When cultivated in the open field in spring and summer, it should be watered more frequently so that its root system can grow more vigorously. Note that drainage should be carried out in time on rainy days. If drainage is not timely, it will cause root rot, which will affect the quality of the fruit and reduce yield in severe cases. Temperature requirementsDragon fruit is relatively resistant to low temperatures and can also adapt to a certain high temperature environment. It can grow at 0~40℃, but it grows better under 25-35℃ environmental conditions. Therefore, it should be given a suitable temperature environment during maintenance. Nutritional ValueDragon fruit is rich in nutrients, such as protein, dietary fiber, vitamins B2, B3, vitamin C, and some mineral elements. |
