After germination, the seeds of Pitaya need to be properly managed to blossom and bear fruit. Scattering light should be given at seedling stage, but with its growth, the light should be gradually strengthened. The temperature is about 25-35 ℃, which is good for its growth. The water supply should be sufficient to keep the soil moist and accelerate the growth of root system. Nitrogen fertilizer was applied in the early stage and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer was applied in the later stage to promote plant development.

I. proper illumination

Pitaya is suitable for growing in the environment with sufficient light, but it is not suitable to be directly exposed to strong light at the young seedling stage, and it needs proper shade. With the growth of the plant, you can slowly increase the light

The temperature is suitable.

As a tropical plant, pitaya has a higher temperature requirement. It is suitable for growing in the environment of 25-35 ℃ and can also withstand the high temperature of 40 ℃. If the temperature doesn't reach the standard, its growth will slow down.

3. Sufficient water

The water requirement of Pitaya at seedling stage is very high. The basin soil should be kept moist all the time, especially in spring and summer, so as to promote the growth of root system. After the fruit, there should be enough water so that the fruit will expand. It should be noted that there should be no ponding in the basin soil, or the root will rot.

4. Moderate fertilization

In order to promote the development of seedlings, we need to apply a little fertilizer to them. The concentration of fertilizer should not be too heavy, so as not to affect its development. The initial fertilizer is mainly nitrogen, which can make it grow faster. But after growing up, we should give priority to P and K fertilizer, otherwise it will lead to its vapid growth.
