CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Despite being a cactus, dragonfruit requires high fertility soil and regular watering. Dress soil with plenty of compost after watering or grow in a 15 gallon pot with rich potting soil. Water regularly, otherwise dragonfruit will not grow or set fruit. It is important to provide it with a trellis for support. This will help with flower production and fruit set.
