The invention relates to a method for planting hylocereus polyrhizus in stony desertification mountain land. The planting method comprises the steps of land selection, land preparation, field planting, reshaping and pruning, field management, nutrient and water management, disease and insect pest prevention and control and harvesting. The planting and management method includes land selection, land preparation, field planting, reshaping and pruning, field management, nutrient and water management, disease and insect pest prevention and control and harvesting, so that the forestry department and peasants have better regulations for hylocereus polyrhizus planting, and rural economic growth and ecological restoration of the stony desertification land are promoted. A dwarf cash crop peanuts is further interplanted in a hylocereus polyrhizus orchard, the soil fertility is fully and effectively utilized, the multiple crop index is improved, meanwhile the coverage rate of soil is also improved, soil evaporation is decreased, the surroundings of root systems of the hylocereus polyrhizus are kept wet, growth and development of the hylocereus polyrhizus are facilitated, and the incomes of fruit farmers are increased.
