How to grow dragon fruit in a pot on a balcony? Let me show you how

Balcony potted dragon fruit method: 1. Separate the flesh from the seeds. You can mash the fruit with a cloth, then strain out the seeds with stockings or something else, and then dry the seeds in the sun

2. Prepare a pot filled with nutrient soil, scatter the dried seeds on the soil, then spray a little water. After the nutrient soil is moist, cover it with plastic wrap and move the pot to a place with bright indirect light and good ventilation. Lift the plastic wrap every day and spray a little water to keep the nutrient soil moist; 3. In about a week you will see dragon fruit seedlings emerge. The young seedlings of dragon fruit are very cute and can also be kept at home as a potted plant to enjoy;

3. Once the dragon fruit seedlings grow dense, they can be divided into separate pots. This avoids too many seedlings, insufficient space and inadequate nutrients; Note: dragon fruit is a relatively drought-tolerant plant. During the growing period, apply a water-diluted organic nitrogen fertilizer once every one to two weeks, which is beneficial for growth. 4. The time to cut the top is when the seedling is about 1 m tall. If you think growing seedlings from seed takes too long, you can try the cutting method.

Cutting method: 1. Choose a thick, disease-free stem and cut it into lengths of 30 cm to 50 cm; 2. Spray the cut wound on the stem with fungicide, then place it in a cool place for five to seven days; handling it this way makes the cutting more likely to survive; 3. Insert the treated stem segment into loose, breathable potting soil, inserting it to a depth of 3 cm to 5 cm. Do not leave the cuttings outdoors to be rained on, as they rot easily. Cuttings generally root in about 2 weeks, and after rooting they can be planted in their final position.

How is it? Isn't it simple? When the season comes, you can look forward to fiery red fruit. Friends who are interested can give it a try.
