Cultivation Guides
Grow dragon fruit with confidence
Propagation
The two commonly used ways are, of course: Seed; and Cuttings Seed is generally only used to produce new hybrids, or if no other means of obtaining plant material is possible. This is an undesirable way of growing plants as, more often than not, the seed is a cross between two varieties and is therefore […]
Pollination
The first thing to address with respect to pollination is that there are three types of dragon fruit, self sterile, self fertile and self pollinating. Briefly self sterile will need pollen from another variety to set fruit, self fertile will set with its own pollen but need assistance and self pollinating will set on it […]
Fertilising
On Planting When planting your dragon fruit in the soil, it’s best to include a manure, either cow or sheep, along with compost. I use sheep manure as the little pebbles are easier to handle. If planting into potting mix, no additional fertiliser should be needed as it’s often already included in the mix. […]
Watering & Irrigation
Dragon fruit are drought-tolerant once established, but they benefit significantly from regular watering during flowering and fruiting. Overwatering is the most common mistake new growers make — it causes root rot, which can be fatal and is often invisible until it’s too advanced to reverse. When to Water The amount of water each plant is […]
Trellises & Support Structures
Post types and materials The ways to trellis dragon fruit I guess are only limited by your imagination. Most posts/ trellis’s are either made of wood, concrete, PVC, metal mesh or some other unconventional set up. On a lot of farms in S.E Asia they use concrete posts, probably due to their higher rain […]
Soil & Site Preparation
Dragon fruit can be grown in pots or directly in the ground in a sunny position. The most important thing to note about soils or potting mixes is that they need to be free-draining, or the plant will rot. Growing in the Ground In Perth’s coastal areas, we deal with a lot of sandy […]
