Dragon Fruit is Also Known as “Pitaya” or “Strawberry Pear”. Dragon Fruit Grows on a Climbing Cactus Plant that Can Grow from 15-20 Feet High and Can Live for as Long as Two Decades. The Flower Buds of the Fruit are Edible when Cooked. Dragon Fruits are Native to Southern Mexico and across Central and South America. Dragon Fruit is High in Vitamin C and Other Antioxidants, which are Great for Your Immune System. It Can Boost Your Iron Levels. Iron is Important for Moving Oxygen Through your Body and Giving You Energy, and Dragon Fruit has Iron. And, the Vitamin C in Dragon Fruit Also Helps Your Body Take in and Use the Iron.

Dragon fruits come from Mexico and Central and Southern America. Not surprisingly they like warm conditions with mild winters and no frost. They can tolerate the occasional short burst of cold weather but ideally they should be kept above 10 degrees. They can handle heat, drought, humidity and poor soils but will grow tastier fruit with regular watering and rich soil. Choose a sunny spot and then boost the soil with compost, manure and certified organic pelletized fertilizer. A dose of lime is also beneficial. Soil needs to be free draining as these plants rot easily if the roots sit in water.  Clay soils are not ideal but if that’s all you have then treat with gypsum and plant on a raised mound. Dragon Fruit also needs a bit more water than a cactus, but never too much. Always water once the soil is dry at appx. an inch deep. Alternatively, they will happily grow in a large pot.
