🌵 Pitaya vs Dragon fruit - what is the difference and how to grow it?

• 
  🍉 Pitaya and Dragon Fruit are the same plant!

Both names refer to climbing cacti in the genus Hylocereus. The word pitaya is more common in Latin America, while dragon fruit is the name used in Asia and English-speaking countries. They come in different types: white-fleshed (Hylocereus undatus), red-fleshed (Hylocereus costaricensis), and yellow-skinned (Hylocereus, or Selenicereus megalanthus). All share the same growth habit and care needs. Pitaya or dragon fruit - whichever name you use, it's one of the easiest exotic fruits to grow at home.

  🍉 How to grow Dragon Fruit

• Get a desired variety or start from a cutting - let the cut end dry for a few days before planting to prevent rot.
• Plant in well-draining soil with lots of sun.
• Give it a strong support to climb on - it's a vining cactus.
• Water deeply but let the soil dry between waterings.
• Flowers open at night and need pollination - some types are self-fertile, others need cross-pollination.
• With care, you can enjoy fruit in 1-2 years. Remember to ferilize!
