1、 How often

After cutting pitaya, don't worry about watering it first. The soil is best in a dry state, and watering can be carried out after about 10 days. If you water it immediately, the stems and branches are likely to rot. When pouring water for the first time, pay attention that the amount should not be too large, and remember not to let excess water appear in the matrix

2、 How long is the result

If properly maintained after cutting, it will bear fruit in 8-10 months. Generally, it will bear fruit from the second year. Of course, sometimes the cutting time is appropriate and well maintained, and it may bear fruit in about 5 months. After cutting, the temperature should be adjusted at about 20 ℃ and should not be directly exposed to the sun. In the later stage, it should be watered in time. Usually, it will germinate in a month

3、 Cutting skills

1. In spring, cut a good growing stem and branch from the Pitaya plant, and there shall be no traces of diseases and pests on it. The incision at the lower end should be smooth, and then dip an appropriate amount of plant ash or disinfect with potassium permanganate

2. Prepare the matrix to be used for cutting, and the soil should be breathable and clean. It should also be disinfected, otherwise there are residual bacteria in it, which will infringe the normal rooting of cuttings. Finally, insert the sterilized stems and branches into the soil to ensure that the temperature is appropriate, and pay attention not to be exposed to the sun. Wait about a month to grow new roots
