How to Grow and Care for Mixed Colour Dragon Fruit

Planting Instructions

• Best Planting Time: Spring and summer, when temperatures are consistently warm.

• Location: Choose a spot with full sun to partial shade. Dragon fruit thrives in warm, well-lit environments.

• Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, sandy or loamy soil enriched with compost. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal.

• Sowing Depth & Spacing:

  • Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface and lightly cover with a thin layer of soil.

  • Space seedlings at least 2-3 feet apart to allow proper vine growth.

  • Keep soil moist but avoid overwatering.

Care and Maintenance

• Watering: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as it can cause root rot.

• Support & Trellising: Since dragon fruit is a climbing cactus, provide a sturdy trellis or pole for support.

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to promote growth and fruiting.

• Temperature Requirements: Thrives in warm temperatures (20-35°C or 68-95°F). Protect from frost and extreme cold.

• Pruning: Trim excess branches to improve airflow and fruit production.

Harvesting

• Fruit Maturity: Typically takes 18-24 months to produce fruit after planting.

• Harvest Time: When the fruit skin turns vibrant and the scales start to wilt slightly. A ripe dragon fruit should be firm yet slightly soft when pressed.

• Storage: Fresh dragon fruits can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
