However, water should be sprayed on the plants every day to increase air humidity.Water should be watered once a day in summer, preferably in the morning or evening.Winter basin soil should be kept moderately dry, plastic film can be used to cover the basin to protect overwintering.The cultivation environment of overwintering should keep high temperature and high air humidity.
Optimal growth temperature: The suitable growth temperature of white-fleshed Pitahaya was 25℃ to 30°C.Move into the room with sufficient light before winter. Water should be controlled and fertilization should be stopped in winter. If the temperature is kept at about 8°C, it can be safely overwintered.Sensitive to low temperature, under the condition of 5℃, stem nodes perishable.
Best growing light: White-fleshed Pitahaya is fast in the sun, but keelson flowers are not mainly for flower viewing. Therefore, proper shade should be given in summer to facilitate their growth.The keel that puts indoor admire and admire is spent, answer to be placed as far as possible near the window edge of sunlight, let its see sunshine more, grow to make it good.

Points for watering: White-fleshed Pitahaya is drought - and sun-resistant, so you need to water it right.If the soil is too wet for a long time, it will cause root rot.Especially in the winter dormant period of watering do not pay attention to not water too much, watering once a month can be.Watering once every 1 ~ 2 months won't dry out.
Main points of pruning:
First, cut away old branches that rarely bloom.
Second, take advantage of the vigorous vitality of new shoots at the top and the abundance of flowers, remove the weak buds growing below to make the top buds fully developed and elongated to give full play to the superiority at the top.The Concubine blooms from May to November for about 7 to 8 periods, each interval of about 20 days.The size of the flower is 25 to 30 days after the appearance of the bud.At this point, is also the best harvest period.The best time to harvest is in the early morning or afternoon of the day after flowering.The flowers for sale and export are processed dried flowers.
Basin and soil replacement: the white-fleshed Pitahayawhite-fleshed Pitahaya rotates the basin once every 1 to 2 years, and the old roots should be cut short when turning the basin.If the root has lumps of different size and rough surface, it indicates that it has been damaged by nematodes, and the affected part should be cut off.After cutting roots, white-fleshed Pitahaya should be put in a cool place. After the wound is dried, planting and watering can be carried out. The substrate for cultivation should be disinfected.
Points of reproduction: The white-fleshed Pitahaya reproduction uses cuttage method.It can be cut in the growing season to grow rich or older stem nodes, 2 to 3 days after airing in the shade, inserted in the sand bed or soil, about 1 month can take root.When roots are 3 to 4 cm long, transplant into a small pot or plant directly in the open.
Prevention and control of diseases and insects: White-fleshed Pitahaya has stalk rot, gray mold, rot disease, nematode disease, scale insects and other diseases and insects.When the plant is exposed to cold or other trauma, it is prone to rot and causes stem rot.
