Cultivation
- Climate: Dragon fruit thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C) and cannot tolerate frost.
- Soil: It requires well-drained soil, preferably sandy or loamy, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
- Watering: The plant requires moderate watering. It is drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering during the growing season. Overwatering should be avoided.
- Light: Full sun is ideal for maximum fruit production, although it can tolerate partial shade.
- Propagation: Dragon fruit can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Cuttings are more common as they establish and bear fruit more quickly.
