Fig
Fig, also known as Tianxian fruit, a small fig tree placed indoors can green up the home and keep producing fruit. It also purifies the air, with a certain ability to absorb toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide and benzene. Its lush leaves are covered with fruit that can also be eaten, more beautiful than flowers, so it is a gain rather than a loss!
Growing figs in pots is very simple. Cut healthy fig branches, insert them into sandy soil, water thoroughly, and in 20 to 30 days they will take root and sprout new shoots. Figs quite like fertilizer, so when potting, add plenty of base fertilizer to the soil to increase the number of flowers and fruit.
Daily care
Figs like warmth, sunlight, and a sunny environment. They cannot withstand cold, but are fairly drought-tolerant, and in summer you should also pay attention to shading.
In the peak growing season, do not apply only nitrogen fertilizer; apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once or twice to increase the number of flowers, raise the fruit set, and make the fruit sweeter and more tempting.
Dragon fruit
The fruit produced by the night-blooming cereus is the dragon fruit we often eat. It is highly ornamental, with bright red fruit that is sweet and tempting and extremely high in nutritional value, much loved by people.
Growing a dragon fruit plant in a pot can also decorate the home beautifully, be eye-catching and edible, beautiful in a dozen ways, tolerant of rough treatment, and grows very vigorously! Full-featured, a sure gain!
To propagate dragon fruit, cut off a thick night-blooming cereus stem, cut it into about 15 cm lengths, place them in a shady spot for 2 to 3 days, then insert them into moist soil, and in about 30 days they will take root.
Daily care
The night-blooming cereus is fairly drought-tolerant. Apart from summer, when watering should be more frequent, in other seasons watering once every 7 to 10 days is enough.
And in the peak growing season of the night-blooming cereus, apply 2 to 3 rounds of organic liquid fertilizer, such as fermented soybean cake water, or apply some fermented chicken manure to make the soil more fertile.
The night-blooming cereus loves light very much. When there is plenty of sunlight, it grows more vigorously and sets more fruit. If there is little sunlight, growth will stall, and it may even fail to bloom or bear fruit!
Coral cherry
Coral cherry has small, brightly colored, gorgeous fruit, very cute and delicate, and highly ornamental. It is the perfect choice for decorating the home. Although the fruit is beautiful and tempting, it cannot be eaten, because the fruit is poisonous and is for viewing only.
To propagate coral cherry, mainly use the sowing method. Pick ripe coral cherry fruit, take out the seeds, scatter them into prepared soil, water thoroughly once, and in about ten days they will sprout.
Daily care
Coral cherry loves light very much. Usually place it in a spot with plenty of light, and it likes fertile soil, so when potting, adding plenty of base fertilizer is very necessary!
During the seedling stage of coral cherry, pinch off the growing tips, which can also promote the growth of side buds, make the plant shape more beautiful, and increase the number of fruit set.
In its peak growing season, apply a diluted liquid fertilizer once every 10 days, such as monopotassium phosphate solution, fermented organic soybean cake water, and so on. From sowing to flowering and fruiting, half a year is enough. If you add more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, it can also extend the fruiting time!
