Before planting in time, you should first apply foot fertilizer to the soil. You can use the method of hole sowing. About six to eight kilograms of decomposed farmyard manure should be applied to each planting hole, and appropriate trace elements should be added. The soil and fertilizer should be fully mixed together, and then covered with a layer of fine soil, which is about eight centimeters higher than the ground. After the higher part sinks, it can be planted in winter, because the winter temperature is relatively low, which is the most suitable planting time.
After planting, it is necessary to ensure the water content of the soil and fertilize it in time. Pay attention to the dosage when adding fertilizer, not too much, and follow the principle of applying more with less. When the seedling grows to about 20 cm, we should appropriately add green manure and farmyard manure to it. Then look at the growth of fruit trees and manage them well. Fertilize at least once a month in the early stage of growth. After autumn comes, the fruit of fruit trees will mature and grow slowly. At this time, the addition of fertilizer and water fertilizer can be stopped or reduced. Although red pitaya likes wet, it is very afraid of waterlogging, so pay attention to the amount of water when planting, so that it has enough water but will not be waterlogged.
The probability of getting sick during the growth of red pitaya is very low, because its disease resistance is still relatively strong, but it will cause pests. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of pests and diseases during planting, and start prevention after planting. We should spray chemical solution at least once a month and sprinkle some lime around the roots of fruit trees to prevent it. If the branches are found to be damaged, we will cut off the damaged parts in time, and then do a good job in protecting the injured parts.
