Description

The listing, ONE Cutting Vietnamese DRAGON FRUIT Plant has ended.

This info was also taken off another site. I will say that this dragon fruit cactus (at least all the ones I have of this) grow upward and not spreading out on the ground which is a bonus and you can attach the "arms" to any structure or post. If you grow in pot like I have to do, I use posts placed in the pot and as they grow, wrap rope, plant wire or whatever around stems to post. Handles full sun here in Pennsylvania even this year with 90+ temps. This cutting is just under 9" and will be shipped in bubble envelope packed with peanuts for protection.
Most of the Hylos listed here are for fruit production-a few are grown for there blooms and have more vivid colors, all are nocturnal blooming (night blooming).There blooms are very large and the backpetal color markings may differ slightly on the fruiting type but most all are white blooms and yellow throats, growth is very simular from one variety to the next with a few exceptions which are noted on each varieties page, but the pulp and fruit sizes vary from small kiwi sized fruit to large melon. Pulp color can be magenta to white and everything in between pink, red, off white etc. many have there own unique texture and flavor.A few are grown for there huge blooms only and are reddish or purple in color.Most like shade at there feet and can grow fine in shade but need full sun at the ends of there stems to bloom/fruit well.They like rich well draining soil.Unlike most Epiphyllums many can be planted in the ground once rooted.

Do I just stick the cutting in the dirt and it will take off? Not familiar with growing dragon fruit or any other cactus plant.

Dragon fruit cactus is very easy to grow. Just place about an 1"-1 1/2" in soil and water.
