How to grow Dragon Fruit from a cutting - Quick Guide
Dragon fruit, Pitaya - Hylocereus sp.
🌵 How to grow Dragon Fruit from a cutting - Quick Guide
🐉 Get a healthy cutting
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.
🐉 Prepare the soil
Use well-draining soil - well drained potting mix, Adenium mix, or cactus mix is ideal. Dragon fruit hates wet feet!
🐉 Plant the cutting
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).
🐉 Support it
Add a trellis or post. Dragon fruit is a climbing cactus and needs something to grow on.
🐉 Water lightly
Water once after planting, then wait until the soil dries before watering again. Overwatering can rot the cutting.
🐉 Give it sun and warmth
Place in bright, indirect sunlight while it roots. Once established, it can handle full sun.
🐉 Watch it grow!
Roots usually form in 2-4 weeks. New growth means it's taking off! This is the time to Ferilize it!
