Ways To Fast Growing dragon fruit and Long Branch.
Handling of dragon fruit plants in order to quickly grow new shoots and elongated, it takes high availability of N, if you use manure, then the most appropriate type is derived from chicken manure. For those of you who use fertilizer packaging, choose a fertilizer that has a higher N elements of P and K. This treatment will result in a fast growing stems elongate and grow new shoots faster, the colors look younger and stem diameter will be smaller than the trunk of fruit dragon in the given element P is higher than its N. This method is suitable for use in propagation of seedlings or plants grown dragon fruit after fruit season runs out.
In order for Fast Growing Dragon Fruit Shoots and Fruitful :
Quick seeds Flowering and Fruiting.
Handling of seeds in order to quickly "old" (fast flowering and fruiting) supply required element of P higher than the element N, if you use manure, the type most good derived from goat manure. This treatment will produce green stems darker and stem diameter will be greater than that given rod element N is higher than its P. This method is suitable for the cultivation of dragon fruit in pots or in the adult dragon fruit cultivation on fruitful period arrives.On seedlings, better planted in beds on land, give a goat dung manure evenly on the bed.
In the model tabulampot (Fruit In Pot), this must be done because what is needed is a dragon fruit plants are small but have been fruitful.
On mature plants, cut the stem must be done to welcome the fruit season arrives, performed in conjunction with the trimming of the flowers. You can use any type of fertilizer, which is required is that you know exactly the content of its elements.
If you use manure, make sure the manure is ripe / dry, it would be better if it first.
Simply fermented to make dragon fruit plants can flower and fruit are :
* Not too dense planting medium (not long retain water)* Gets enough sunlight.
* Proper fertilization (above)
* Prune to prevent branches continue to grow and the emergence of new shoots.
* Tendrils not too dense, so it does not cover the tendrils on the vine in the lower part of the sun.
If 5 it is fulfilled, your dragon fruit plants can be expected to flower and fruit properly.
Tips and Ways dragon fruit cultivation.
There are several factors that favor fruit dragon fruit to be big and heavy. Broadly speaking, we will review briefly, so that peer to peer beginners can learn in a general way a good dragon fruit cultivation.Tips way dragon fruit cultivation :
General need for the cultivation of dragon fruit is the sandy soil conditions, dry, tend to be red, normal PH (6-7). If the above general requirements have not been met, can be carried out further soil processing according to the needs. For example, if the soil tends to wet / acid, it is necessary application of lime / dolomite to increase the soil pH. Similarly, if the soil tend to be hard, the addition of sand or rice husk ash is also necessary.6-7 normal soil pH is very important in the cultivation of dragon fruit. If the pH tends to sour, there will be a lot of fungal attacks that result in root rot or stem. Both elements Potassium uptake is inhibited so as to be not optimal Dragon Fruit (dwarf). Decline in soil pH can occur due to high rainfall and the drainage system is not good, so that water can not be quickly released.
Number of branch dragon fruit is too much also causes production of dragon fruit is not maximal. Nutrients are absorbed dragon tree will be depleted to meet the needs of trunks. Normal number of branches around 4-6 branches / trees.
When the fruiting period, cutting the tip of the branch is necessary so that the branch does not concentrate on the development of the stem. So that nutrients can be diverted to the fulfillment of dragon fruit enlargement.
Potassium is an important element in the process of formation and enlargement of dragon fruit. Potassium elements of natural / organic plenty Lists obtained from banana trees, coconut fibers, organic sea, fish bones / animal, tea leaves etc. The natural ingredients are processed by fermentation. Inorganic potassium obtained from ZK, MKP, KNO3. Potassium material can be sprayed and can also be sprinkled around the plant.
About Pollination Manual Dragon Fruit.
Some things you should know are :
The best time to do pollination is when the flowers are in full bloom crown.Pollinating flowers bloom before the results are less good, it is better done when the flowers are in bloom some time (florets relationship began to close) results are better than powdered before the flowers bloom.
Be careful when applying pollen to the pistil, not to stalk pistil broken as a result of movements that are too loud. This will lead to the failure of pollination.
For you beginners, you should use a clean and dry paintbrush to apply pollen to the pistil.
Although it can be done with the fingers, but the hands are sweaty, wet or unclean could result in failure of pollination.
For flowers facing up, after you do the pollination must be given hoods to prevent direct exposure to rain water, although many are not in the hood, stay successful pollination.
Pollen can be used to rub on the stigma of another, usually done for the crossing of the two types of dragon fruit.
