Dragon Fruit - Pitaya

The height of the plant does not have limit since it grow in segment of about ~3ft each. Will grow on most clingable surface and can grow off of other tree (will kill the other tree as it's a leeching plant). Prefer moist/humid climate

Paul 17y ago

Sj, CA

Dragon Fruit - Pitaya

The flower doesn't produce aroma as it cousin. Root will grow out of segmented pieces (plantable). Too much ferterlizer will cause the fruit to grow too fast which eliminate the true taste (sweet and cool).

Must hand pollinate with a brush. Insects too unreliable away from native areas. Does better with sharp drainage but tolerant of wetter soils. Plant against walls / fences so adventitious roots can stick to surface and support. Dilute fertilse frerquently
