Mastering Summer Care for Dragon Fruit Plants at Liz Pepper Gardens

At Liz Pepper Gardens, With our years of experience and dedication to sustainable farming practices, we have developed a proven method to ensure the health and vitality of our dragon fruit plants throughout the summer season.

First step is understanding the importance of Summer Care:

Most of the buyers ask us why we insist on proper Irrigation when dragon fruit tree doesn't need much water but that's not true. It's a tricky ground, yes over watering can be a problem , but also these trees love good watering during the summers. You might have noticed yellow tint on the stems from lack of water, and that's no good no? 

Despite many measures we still face these challenges but we have used many trials and errors enough to give a blog on this and here it goes:

Summer poses unique challenges for dragon fruit plants, as intense heat and dry conditions can stress the plants and inhibit growth. At Liz Pepper Gardens, we recognize the importance of providing optimal care during this critical period to ensure the plants thrive and produce abundant fruit.

The Summer Care Process:

Protective Covering: To shield the plants from excessive drying and sun exposure, we employ a unique technique of using fresh leaves with heavy tentacles and stems as protective covering. These leaves are strategically placed above the trimmed area, creating a natural barrier that helps retain moisture and regulate temperature. This method not only protects the plants but also promotes airflow and prevents stagnant moisture buildup, reducing the risk of fungal infections.

Batch Leaf Collection: Given that Liz Pepper Gardens is in a forested area prone to heavy winds, we have devised a practical solution to address the challenge of flying dry leaves. Instead of collecting leaves sporadically, we gather them in batches, prioritizing fresh green leaves with sturdy tentacles and stems. By layering these leaves above the protective covering, we create a stable and resilient barrier that can withstand the strongest gusts of wind, ensuring the longevity of our summer care efforts.

Tips for Success:

- Consistent Monitoring: Regular monitoring of the plants is essential to identify any signs of stress or pest infestation promptly. By staying vigilant, we can address issues promptly and prevent them from escalating.

- Proper Irrigation: Adequate watering is crucial during the summer months to keep the soil moist and provide essential nutrients to the plants. We follow a careful watering schedule, ensuring that the plants receive sufficient moisture without becoming waterlogged.

- Mulching: Applying a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plants helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature. This simple yet effective practice complements our summer care routine, providing additional protection to the plants.
