Soil, the pot is not breathable, the air permeability is poor, the watering is too much, the roots of the dragon fruit are more hypoxic, causing the fleshy part of the dragon fruit to rot, this problem is not solved, and in the summer, the sultry season, will continue to rot. Changing the soil and changing the flower pot is the right solution.
