Watering:
Dragon fruit does not tolerate excessive watering and may develop root rot if kept constantly wet. Allow the soil to partially dry between waterings. Moderate watering is recommended, especially during active growth.
Temperature:
Dragon fruit thrives in warm climates and performs best in temperatures above 5°C (40°F). Protect young plants from frost and prolonged cold weather.
Soil:
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Dragon fruit performs best in full sun, warm temperatures, and soil with good drainage.
Care Tips:
After receiving your plant, place it in a shaded location for several days to help it recover from transport stress before gradually introducing it to direct sunlight.
As the plant grows, transplant it into a larger container or permanent location with a sturdy support structure. Mature dragon fruit plants can become large and highly productive when provided with adequate sunlight, nutrition, and support.
