Our dragon fruit plant thrives in warm climates, making it an excellent choice for USDA Zones 9-11. It prefers full sun exposure, requiring at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day, and grows best in well-draining soil. Dragon fruit plants are known for their low water needs, making them drought-tolerant once established. However, regular watering during early growth ensures healthy development and strong roots.
Caring for your dragon fruit plant is easy and rewarding. Plant it in a sunny spot with good drainage, and water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between watering to avoid root rot. Fertilizing every two to three months with a balanced fertilizer encourages rapid growth and optimal fruit production.
