How long does it take for dragon fruit cuttings to germinate?

1. How long does it take to germinate?

The dragon fruit will take root and grow new shoots about a month after cuttings. If there is any improper maintenance and management, the period may need to be extended. It is normal for new sprouts to grow in 40 days. After cuttings, the temperature of the rooting environment is best maintained at 20℃, at which the rooting and germination speed is the fastest.

2. Maintenance after cutting

1. Watering: Do not water it after cuttings, but you need to water it in time after 10 days. The substrate should not be too dry, but it should not have too much water. If you want it to take root faster, you must keep the soil moist.

2. Shading: Don’t rush to expose it to sunlight, and don’t let it be exposed to strong sunlight. It is recommended to place it in a cool place with good air circulation for maintenance.

3. Notes

1. When taking cuttings, pay attention to the wounds of the branches. You need to wait until the wounds heal before proceeding, so that the branches will not rot easily. In addition, the substrate used should be as loose as possible, and well-ventilated soil will help the branches take root.

2. The time for cuttings should be chosen well. Spring and autumn are more suitable seasons because the temperature is very stable at this time, which is also more conducive to the growth of new roots of branches.
