Growers lose everything due to wrong choices
Dragon fruit, also known as red dragon fruit, dragon pearl fruit, fairy honey fruit, jade dragon fruit. A plant of the Cactaceae family, genus Hylocereus. Its distribution area is tropical and subtropical regions, with colors of red and yellow. It is a perennial climbing succulent plant. The plant has no main root, and a large number of lateral roots are distributed in the shallow topsoil, while it also has many aerial roots that allow it to grow by climbing. It likes light and tolerates shade, tolerates heat and drought, likes fertilizer and tolerates poor soil. It grows rapidly in a warm, humid environment with sufficient light, tolerates low temperatures of 0°C and high temperatures of 40°C, and the optimum temperature for growth is 25-35°C. It can adapt to a variety of soils, but neutral soil and slightly acidic soil rich in humus with good water and fertilizer retention are best.
Look at this greenhouse, a lot of investment
It is rich in nutrients and unique in function. It contains plant albumin and anthocyanins that are rare in ordinary plants, as well as abundant vitamins and water-soluble dietary fiber. Dragon fruit is a cooling fruit. In its natural state, the fruit ripens in summer and autumn, is sweet and juicy. Its places of origin are Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Ecuador, Cuba, Colombia and other places in Central America. It was later introduced to Vietnam, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries and China's Taiwan province, and to Hainan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan and other provinces and regions in mainland China.
Overgrown with weeds, there is certainly no income left
Dragon fruit is not only sweet and fragrant, but also has high nutritional value. It combines the advantages of fruit, flower buds, vegetables and medicine in one. It is not only rich in nutrients and unique in function, but also rarely suffers from pests and diseases, and can grow normally with almost no use of any pesticides. Therefore, dragon fruit is a green, environmentally friendly fruit and a health-care nutritional food with certain therapeutic effects. Its flesh contains almost no fructose or sucrose; its sugar is mainly glucose, and this natural glucose is easily absorbed and suitable for eating after exercise.
Besides being eaten, it also has relatively high medical value. Modern scientific research and analysis results show that dragon fruit contains many components beneficial to humans, with effects such as preventing vascular sclerosis, detoxifying and protecting the stomach, and preventing anemia, as well as more elements that promote health, beauty, disease prevention and physical strengthening. Its peel contains a very precious nutrient, anthocyanins. It is a powerful antioxidant, more than 10 times stronger than carotene, and can remain active in human blood for 75 hours.
It is precisely because dragon fruit has so many advantages that many places that are not places of origin want to create artificial environments for introduction and cultivation, especially in low-temperature areas. Growers need to invest huge amounts of money to build greenhouses to ensure temperature and humidity. However, in artificially created environments, the investment cost is high, the probability of success is small, and the risk involved is considerable. With today's highly developed transportation, it has no investment value at all.
