Should I water the dragon fruit potted plant once a week? How long will it take for it to die if I don't water it?

1. Do you water the plants once a week?

1. Frequency: When growing dragon fruit in potted plants, you can water them every week according to the degree of water evaporation. When the soil becomes dry, you can replenish water for it. Watering can be more frequent in spring and summer, but the frequency of watering should be controlled in winter. Normally, you should water the plants every few days, depending on the climate and the looseness of the soil. Water the plants when the soil is dry.

2. Amount of water: The amount of water should not be too much when watering. Usually, it is enough to water the soil in the pot thoroughly. It likes water, but its roots cannot be soaked in water. Slightly moist soil can meet its water requirements for growth.

3. Water quality: In order not to affect its growth, use clean water for watering. There must be no dirt in the water. If you water it with water containing impurities for a long time, the soil environment will deteriorate, which will affect its growth.

2. How long will it die without watering?

During the cultivation of dragon fruit, it is generally not allowed to go without watering for more than half a month. If the interval is too long, the plant will die due to lack of water. If you don't water it for a month, it may die. But the specific number of days before the plant dies without watering also depends on other factors. For example, it needs less water in winter and the water evaporates slowly, so it doesn’t matter if it is not watered for a long time, but it is not okay during the growing period.
