Management of pitaya seeds after germination

1. Proper lighting

Dragon fruit grows well in an environment with sufficient light, but it should not be exposed to direct sunlight during the seedling stage and needs appropriate shade. As the plant grows, you can gradually increase the light intensity.

2. Suitable temperature

As a tropical plant, dragon fruit has higher temperature requirements. It grows well in an environment of 25-35℃ and can withstand high temperatures of 40℃. If the temperature doesn't meet the standard, its growth will slow down.

3. Sufficient water

Dragon fruit has a great demand for water during the seedling stage. Always keep the soil in the pot moist, especially water it more in spring and summer to promote root growth. After fruiting, there must be sufficient water so that the fruit can swell. It should be noted that there should not be any stagnant water in the potting soil, otherwise it will cause root rot.

4. Appropriate fertilization

In order to promote the development of seedlings, it is necessary to give it some fertilizer. The concentration of fertilizer should not be too heavy so as not to affect its development. The initial fertilizer is mainly nitrogen, which can make it grow faster. But after it grows up, it needs to be mainly fertilized with phosphorus and potassium, otherwise it will cause excessive growth.
