When should pitaya be repotted? Things to note when repotting

1. Time to change the pot

Generally, there is no need to change the pot during the cultivation of dragon fruit, but it needs to be changed once when you first start planting, probably when the plant has not grown to 30cm. The best time to repot is in autumn, not in winter when the weather is too cold. Also, the temperature in summer is very high, so you should avoid changing pots at this time. Because once the root system is damaged, the hot and humid climate will cause the roots to be infected with bacteria, which may cause death.

2. Notes on changing pots

1. Be careful when repotting: When repotting, be careful to remove the pot and clean the soil slowly so as not to damage its roots. If the roots are damaged, they need to be disinfected before potting to avoid infection and rot after planting.

2. The potting soil is clean: The new pots and soil should be clean. It is recommended that you use carbendazim or potassium permanganate for disinfection before planting pitaya. If there are pathogens in the soil and the plant's roots are damaged, it will be easily attacked.

3. Seedling care: After changing the pot, give it a few days to grow slowly. Place it in a cool place first, away from direct sunlight. Wait until it adapts to the new potting soil before you can slowly and normally care for it.
