We think that pitaya should be planted in the ground before it can bear fruit. In fact, potted plants can also bear fruit. If we cut off a branch, stick it in the soil, and master some tricks, we will be able to blossom and bear fruit in one year, and ten fruits will bear dozens of pounds one after another. No problem at all.
1. Cultivate roots first, not buds.
After the cuttings of pitaya survive, they will sprout soon. In fact, it is wrong to keep this bud. Because of the weak root system in the early stage, this bud will grow very thin and weak, which will only consume nutrients, resulting in the underdeveloped root system of our pitaya seedlings. Therefore, the cuttings and long buds should be erased in the early stage, and the root system will be longer and thicker. In the early stage, high potassium fertilizer will be used to strengthen the roots. When you see that the branch is thick, the root system must have grown out, and the buds that grow out can make it grow out, but remember, there are not many buds, just leave one, erase the others and let a branch grow out.
Watch more light.
If pitaya wants to blossom and bear fruit, it must see enough light because it is a cactus plant. The stronger the light, the better it grows. If there is no light, it will certainly not bloom, all year round, especially when it blooms.
3. Direct use of flower-promoting fertilizer
We only keep a new bud, and the new bud begins to grow, and the longer it grows, the bigger it becomes. Therefore, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, should be used as fertilizers. At this time, the light is sufficient, the new branches are rapidly aging, the root system is developed and the nutrition is sufficient. After the new branches are aged, they will inevitably sprout, blossom and pollinate, which will inevitably produce many results.
In fact, the result of potted pitaya at home is still ok. According to Xiao Qi, in the early stage, the roots should be raised first, and then the roots should be raised and allowed to sprout. The new shoots will be strong, the branches will be strong, and the light can be seen all year round. Late summer and early autumn will be its flowering period, and new strong branches and aging branches will inevitably bloom. Therefore, it is very important to raise roots. In order to blossom, both light and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer are necessary. If you keep it, you can follow Qi's instructions and you will definitely eat the pitaya you planted.
