Key points of pitaya planting in fruit-bearing period The reason why pitaya does not bloom for a long time.
1, fertilizer: Without fertilizer, pitaya will only sprout, but not blossom.
2. Lack of light: Pitaya is difficult to blossom if it can't carry out photosynthesis normally, and ignorant long buds are one of the typical manifestations of lack of light.
3, too much watering: too much watering causes many small buds to grow in the root in the short term, but it will not bloom in the later stage, because too much watering makes its body have too much water.
4, low temperature: Pitaya only grows buds and does not bloom, which is also related to the growth temperature. It likes warm environment.
Fertilization techniques for flowering and fruiting of pitaya
When applying fertilizer to pitaya, we must control the amount of fertilizer, and do not excessive fertilization it, otherwise it will make pitaya grow in vain.
Temperature during flowering and fruiting period of pitaya
