Use a 6-10 inch long stem cutting from a mature dragon fruit plant. Let the cut end dry in the shade for 2-5 days so it forms a callus. This also helps prevent rot and fungus.
Use well-draining soil - well drained potting mix, Adenium mix, or cactus mix is ideal. Dragon fruit hates wet feet!
Stick the callused end about 2-3 inches deep into the soil. Make sure it's planted upright (the way it grew on the parent plant).
Add a trellis or post. Dragon fruit is a climbing cactus and needs something to grow on.
Water once after planting, then wait until the soil dries before watering again. Overwatering can rot the cutting.
Place in bright, indirect sunlight while it roots. Once established, it can handle full sun.
