Many questions are coming, such as how to dragon fruit business, how are the benefits?, How the risk of loss?, How to analyze their business? how the prospects for the future?. The questions were posed to my email a lot, and to answer that question, I will write an easy way for a minimum return of capital first (if not arguably a “sure winner). From the article I will illustrate that the dragon fruit business is relatively safe and low risks. In addition to durable and easy handling of the disease, dragon fruit is also able to live anywhere in the area (except for areas without sunlight). For the future prospects of clear safe, because the dragon fruit is the consumption of fruit crops like apples, oranges, mango etc that from the beginning until now still sell it?

And here are the steps on how to reap profits from just one parent dragon fruit, why do not you have 10, 100, or 1000 parents? Of course it is very large. Okay, we immediately start it:

1. Photo below is a way of pruning to create a new breed of dragon fruit which will be sold to recover your capital. After the fruit season finished, the entire vine / branches cut off, do not hesitate if the dragon fruit will die or disturbed. In my photos give you an example an old trunk (which later I prune out too). After a few weeks to grow new shoots, which in the next fruit season, have become a branch of an old and ready to bear fruit.

2. Once your old branch cut to the size you want (even 10 cm only safe to do so), you plant and wait for the growth of new roots and shoots, then you are ready to sell seeds. Let’s count, if the parent has a branch / vine branches with a length of 30 cm @ 60, then if the seed pieces are made with a length of 15 cm, meaning there will be seed number of 30 x 4 (60cm: 15cm) = 120 seedlings. If you can sell it for Rp 10 thousands/stem already making money Rp. 10 thousands x 120 = Rp. 1.2 million.

3. You’re back capital or profit, and the breeders you are cut off, has sprouted back several months later, you can cut back to make seeds, and fruit the next season can still bear fruit again. And then you will benefit from the sale of fruit produced.

That is, why a business dragon fruit has a bright prospect and safe even for beginners. Since I’ve opened one of the important secrets, it’s good for feedback, if you buy seeds or fruit dragon fruit breeders, I do not buy from a place other than.
