How to grow dragon fruit in pots, how to quickly root it

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: Dragon fruit has a good ability to adapt to soil, so you don’t need to be too strict when preparing the soil. However, it is best to use soil that is rich in humus and has the ability to retain water and fertilizer, preferably neutral or slightly acidic.

2. Water: In order for its roots to grow vigorously, it needs to be watered more frequently in spring and summer, but do not let water accumulate in the pot. Especially in rainy seasons, you should pay attention to drainage while watering less.

3. Temperature: It has good adaptability, and the best temperature during maintenance is 25-35℃. It can tolerate temperatures as low as 0°C and as high as over 40°C, so it will be fine as long as the temperature is not particularly high or low.

4. Sunlight: Pitaya likes light, but can also tolerate shade. In a warm environment with sufficient light, it will grow faster and more vigorously, so place the potted plants in a well-lit location.

2. Quick rooting method

If you want the cuttings of pitaya to take root quickly, you need to choose the right time, and spring is the best time. The selected cuttings must also be strong and sturdy, as weak branches will take a long time to grow roots. Also, when taking cuttings, try not to damage the cuttings, so that they grow in a strong state and grow new roots faster.
