A full sun to part shade lover, this plant is not fussy about soil conditions as long they are well-drained and supplemented with high amounts of organic material. Water regularly from flowering through harvest, making sure the soil does not dry out. Fertilize on a monthly basis with a balanced fertilizer during this period.
Tolerates cool or warm climates, provided temperatures do not exceed 100°F (38°C). May be damaged by exposure to below freezing temperatures (31°F; -2°C) of long duration. Used both as an ornamental vine and as a fruit crop, Hylocereus undatus (Dragon Fruit) is a fast-growing, sprawling or vining, terrestrial or epiphytic cactus. Its green stems are usually 3-sided, fleshy, jointed, and may reach up to 20 ft. long (6 m). They climb by use of aerial roots that adhere to the surface upon which they grow or climb. Large and beautiful white flowers, 14 in. long (35 cm), appear in late spring to early summer in temperate climates. In tropical climates, the plant can have up to 4-6 flowering/fruiting cycles per year. Very fragrant, they open only at night, and usually last just one night. When pollinated, they give way to edible, fleshy red fruits with prominent scales. Their sweetly flavored white or red pulp is dotted with small black seeds. Dragon Fruit is estimated to live about 20 years and may produce up to 220 lb (100 kg) of fruit per year 3-4 years after planting.
