- Hybrid or heirloom: Dragon fruit seeds are typically heirloom, meaning they are open-pollinated and can be saved and replanted to produce plants with the same characteristics as the parent plant.
- Pruning and training: Dragon fruit plants benefit from regular pruning to remove dead or damaged stems and to encourage new growth. Training the plant to grow on a trellis or support structure helps manage its sprawling growth habit and improves fruit production.
- Fertilization needs: Dragon fruit plants require regular fertilization to thrive. Use a balanced fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK 10-10-10) every two months during the growing season. Organic compost or well-rotted manure can also be used to enrich the soil.
- Hardiness zones: Dragon fruit plants thrive in USDA hardiness zones 10-11. They can tolerate temperatures as low as 32°F (0°C) for short periods but prefer warmer climates.
- Climate requirements: Dragon fruit plants require a warm, tropical or subtropical climate. They need full sun exposure and well-draining soil. The ideal temperature range for growing dragon fruit is between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C).
