Growing Dragon Fruit

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , — saber626 @ 12:39 pm

Growing dragonfruit is as simple as any seed. Though they are very small so you have to be careful you don’t wash out the seeds when watering them.

First clean the seeds from the flesh and let them dry. You may wish to rinse them first as they can get stuck together ’cause of the sugar content, though not necessary as they are too small to handle.

After the seeds are fully dry you can sprinkle them where you want to grow, or in pots and cover lightly with soil. Use a watering can or a fine mist hose to water to prevent blowing the seeds away. Plant them in full sun.

As with any cacti or succulent, they prefer sandy well drained soil, but can tolerate most soils as long as it doesn’t get wet feet.
