    - Mix organic fertilizers and some chemical fertilizers in each hole.

    - Plant seedlings and mix well with the soil.

Support System:

Irrigation System:

    - Dragon fruit trees need regular watering.  But make sure that water does not accumulate.

    - You can give water every morning and afternoon during the dry season.
