Dragon Fruit Cultivation - Had a shock when on the way to the Red Island Banyuwangi there are so many orchards dragon in almost every house. Interestingly, when returning from the tourist attractions (already dusk at the time), dragon fruit garden is given a lamp on each pole.

• Wash dragon fruit flesh with water for seeds and meat to separate. After that, try filtering with a special cloth filter so that the rest of the meat can be completely loose and water content lost.
• Then, wind with the fan to dry quickly.
• If you have, try to prepare a cup filled with small pebbles that have been clean. Then, fill the cup with soil until approximately 3/4 cup size. The land does not have to bother, can take in the yard of the house.
• Place the cookie cake in the center of the cup and fill the edge of the cup with a fine pebble.
• After that, sprinkle the dragon fruit seeds into the cookie cutter.
• Flush the cup to taste (not to flood and muddy), then cover using plastic wrap.
• Everyday, open this plastic wrap then wet with enough water.
• Nega fruit seedlings will generally grow about 1 week. When it appears shoots, do not close, just kept the moisture content of the soil.

The soil used should be loose and clean of weeds and grasses. Decide also whether you use a single or group climbing system. For single climbing media, use 5kg of sand, 5kg red brick, 10kg manure and 300gr dolomite mixed well and use this on one planting hole only.

What if the group system, 8kg of sand, 20kg manure, 10 kg red brick powder and dolomite as much as 600 gr.Use this mix every 4 meters lane. Then flush the plant and let it exposed to sunlight and dry it so the soil is free of toxins.

3. Method Watering

Dancers should not be excessive because it can make rotting fruit stems. But also adjust to the condition of the land and the way of planting.

May use the leb system by creating trenches that have 20cm diversity or pipes that can be used to irrigate whole plants.

4. How to Plant / Move Seeds on Land

Make sure the depth is about 20% of the seed pan. When the length of 50-80cm, the depth of seeds on the ground about 10-15cm. Do not forget to smeared Ridomil 40 gr that has been diluted with 1 liter of water so that stems do not quickly rot.

5. How to Treat Dragon Fruit

To protect the plants from outside attack, clean the garden from the grass and weeds. Do not forget to trim the dragon fruit rod when it has reached 2 meters more.

Use this branch to grow the next clan. After that just waiting for the harvest. Usually 1.5-2 years later.

If seeding from seeds, surely you have to be extra patient. However, if you want to develop it all for the effort to open the nursery, it depends on you!
