So when is the best time to transplant dragon fruit? Let’s learn more about it below. When is the best time to transplant dragon fruit? Judging from the growth situation, the dragon fruit seedlings can be transplanted after they grow the first fleshy stem segment. From the perspective of climatic conditions, pitaya is suitable for transplanting in spring (March-May) or autumn (September-October). The temperature in these two seasons is suitable, which is conducive to the survival and growth of pitaya seedlings. How to transplant dragon fruit correctly? 1. Choose strong seedlings The seedlings you purchase must be free of pests and diseases and growing healthily. It is best to buy from reputable merchants. 2. Prepare the soil Dragon fruit has strong adaptability and can adapt to various soils, but neutral soil and slightly acidic soil that are rich in humus and retain water and fertilizer are preferred. Before transplanting, decomposed organic fertilizer , granular organic fertilizer, etc. should be applied to the soil and mixed with the soil to improve soil fertility. 3. Field preparation With a row spacing of 3 meters, leave 1 meter inside as a walkway, and a 2-meter-wide planting bed under the support frame and concrete columns, with a bed height of 40 centimeters. 4. Remove the seedlings Gently tap the sides of the original container to separate the soil from the container. Then hold the base of the dragon fruit seedling and gently pull it out of the container, being careful to avoid damaging the roots. 5. Transplanting and planting Plant the pitaya seedlings in the prepared soil at a depth of 3-5 cm. Since pitaya has shallow roots that grow horizontally, has no taproot, and has a large number of lateral roots distributed in the shallow surface of the soil, it should not be planted too deep. After planting, cover the topsoil and slightly compact the seedlings. Do not plant the seedlings upside down. 6. Watering to slow down the growth of seedlings Water thoroughly immediately after transplanting to help the seedlings adapt to the new environment, and then keep the soil slightly moist until they take root and survive. In general, pitaya is generally suitable for transplanting in spring and autumn. Pay attention to mastering the correct transplanting method. At the same time, through careful care and transplanting management, you can not only improve the transplanting survival rate, but also promote early fruiting and high yield of seedlings.
