How to Grow Dragon Fruit Plant From Seeds?

Dragon Fruit Farming is an easy way to grow your dragon fruit cactus. Be aware, however, that if you grow a dragon fruit plant from seed, it can take several years (sometimes up to five) to bear fruit.

Prepare the Soil Bed:- Dragon fruit tree requires full sun. So that plant chooses a sunny area in your garden or a sunny window that gets at least six hours of sunlight a day. For soil, choose well-draining soil. Dragon fruit is sensitive to “wet feet” or constantly wet roots and is rich in organic matter. Don’t use cactus soil – As tropical plants, dragon fruit prefers more water than other cactus and wants something that will retain moisture a bit better.

Prepare the Seeds:- Cut a ripe dragon fruit in half and remove the black seeds. Wash the fruit pulp and pulp from the seeds and place the seeds on a damp paper towel for at least twelve hours.

Plant the seeds:- Sprinkle dragon fruit seeds over the soil’s surface and cover them with a thin layer of soil. It’s okay if it barely covers the seeds—they don’t need to be planted deeply.

Water:- Most the soil bed consistently, keeping it evenly moist. Cover the soil bed with plastic wrap to hold moisture in until the seeds germinate if your soil dries out.

Thin and transplant:- As your dragon fruit shoots continue to grow, thin them to give each new plant room. If you are growing them indoors, transplant them into larger pots. Mature dragon fruit will eventually need a twenty-gallon pot (at least twenty inches wide) for optimum health.
