PITAYA - APRENDA COMO FAZER A POLINIZAÇÃO MANUAL é fácil e simples de fazer

You will learn how to manually pollinate pitaya and tips for growing this beautiful plant. Mine were produced by the cutting process, which is the easiest and simplest way to reproduce plants. Check out the videos here on the channel! Pitayas belong to the angiosperms, which are a group of plants characterized by their ability to produce flowers and fruits. This is the largest group of plants in existence. In manual pollination, we perform cross-pollination between plants to ensure successful pollination. With the first flowering occurring in November, 50 days pass between the bud form and the mature fruit. Pitaya (Hylocereus undatus), also known as dragon fruit, is the fruit of several species of epiphytic cacti of the genera Hylocereus and Selenicereus, native to regions of Central America and Mexico, also cultivated in Israel, Brazil, and China. The term "pitaya" means "scaly fruit". There are three species, all widely traded for their fruits, which give them their names: white pitaya (pink on the outside and white on the inside), yellow pitaya (yellow on the outside and white on the inside), and red pitaya (reddish inside and out). As the pitaya plant only blooms at night (with large white flowers), its flowers are some of the several plants called night-blooming flowers. At one year old, the pitaya plant already produces some fruits, but a good production requires approximately three years. According to Mr. Santelino, the fruit has several health benefits. It produces well in any type of soil, provided that acidity and fertility corrections are made. The soils that present the best conditions for the development of pitaya are those rich in organic matter, not compacted, well-drained, with a sandy and sandy-clay texture, with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Pitaya adapts to certain conditions, such as regions with temperatures between 18 and 26°C, altitudes between 0 and 1,850 m above sea level, and rainfall between 1,200 and 1,500 mm annually. It prefers sub-humid climates, partial shade, frost-free conditions, and well-drained soils. The pitaya is a cactus that likes light and sun. When fertilizing, always use organic fertilizers, such as well-rotted manure, distributing them around the plant, but without touching the trunk. Let's make life more sustainable. Produce it yourself, at home, plant and have healthy food without poisons that are so harmful to our health. Make a small garden, plant in pots. You will like it.
