Guide to Growing Dragon Fruit in Your Garden

How Can I Germinate White Dragon Fruit Seeds?

Soak Dragon fruit seeds in warm water for 24 to 48 hours. This will help soften the hard seed coat and encourage germination. Prepare a seed-starting mix by mixing equal parts of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite. Fill a small container with the mix. Sow the seeds on the mixture, pressing them gently into the surface. Cover the container with plastic wrap or a clear lid to create a greenhouse effect. Place the container in a warm, well-lit location. A temperature of around 75-85°F (24-29°C) is ideal for germination. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water when the surface of the soil feels dry to the touch. After a few weeks, the seeds should start to sprout. Once the seedlings have grown to about 2-3 inches tall, they can be transplanted into larger pots or directly into the ground. 

How Can I Care for The White Dragon Fruit Plant?

Water the plant regularly, especially during the growing season. It prefers well-draining soil that is kept slightly moist but not soggy. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can damage the plant. White dragon fruit plants prefer total sun exposure but can tolerate partial shade. Keeping them in a sunny, sheltered location is best to protect them from harsh winds. Fertilize the plant monthly during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 formula. Avoid over-fertilization, as this can damage the plant. Prune the plant regularly to promote new growth and maintain its shape. Cut off dead or diseased branches and remove any suckers that appear at the base of the plant. Provide a trellis or other support structure for the plant to climb on, as it is a vine and can grow quite large.
