A large fruit with a waxy yellow outside and a white fleshed inside, spotted with small soft edible seeds. Dragon fruits are also known as pitaya and orchid cactus. Dragon fruit is a vining succulent with gorgeous, large, night blooming yellow flowers followed by vivid exotic fruit. Plant does extremely well in pots and is usually trellised. For those who can grow them outside, they are a useful addition ornamental flower as well as nutritionally fruit. Space 8-10' apart on trellis, fence, or wall. Or grow in a pot in the greenhouse or indoors, moving the plant to larger containers as the plant grows. Outside zones are 9-11. How to Grow: Most all edible plants grow well in Full Sun, a little shade won’t hurt. Dragon Fruit can be planted in most healthy soils with normal pH range 6.5-8. I recommend growing in a good potting soil for your starter plant and then mix up your favorite type of medium when ready to be fully planted. Let your soil completely dry out then water 1-2 times a week. Make sure you find a fertilizer and follow guidelines. I recommend using an organic potting mix with your fertilizer and soil additives all ready mix in.
