How to Care for a Dragon Fruit Plant ?
Prune:- To keep your plant disease-free and growing properly on its support system, prune back any dead, dying, diseased, or overcrowded branches.
Fertilize:- During the dragon fruit season, fertilize your dragon fruit plant once a month to give it the nutrients it needs.
Pollinate:- Dragon plants rely on nocturnal pollinators such as moths and bats to help them produce fruit. If you’re growing yours as a houseplant indoors, you’ll need to turn to hand-pollination on the blooms: Run a clean cotton swab or paintbrush in the middle of the flower to collect the pollen, then blow the pollen off the flower. Some varieties of dragon fruit self-pollinate while others require another plant to cross-pollinate – see which variety you have and if you need more than one plant to produce fruit.
Keep at temperature:- Dragon fruit plants don’t get hardy in cold or hot climates, so make sure you keep your plant between 32 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit — about 70 degrees is about right. If your area is hot in the summer months but very cold during the winter months, bring your plant indoors to keep it warm when the weather turns cold.
