Getting the Seeds
Before you start planting, you need seeds. Here’s how to get them:
- From a Dragon Fruit: Cut a dragon fruit in half and scoop out the seeds from the pulp. Clean the seeds by washing them to remove any attached pulp.
- Buy Online: There are many online retailers that sell dragon fruit seeds.
2. Preparing the Seeds
- Soaking: After cleaning the seeds, soak them in water for about 24 hours. This softens the outer shell and makes germination quicker.
3. Choosing the Right Pot
- Size: Choose a pot that’s at least 15 inches deep and 24 inches in diameter. Dragon fruit plants have extensive root systems, and they need ample space to grow.
- Drainage: Ensure that your pot has good drainage. This will prevent over-watering, which can cause root rot.
4. Soil Preparation
- Type: Use a high-quality potting mix, preferably cactus or succulent mix as dragon fruit plants are a type of cactus.
- pH Level: Ensure the soil pH is neutral, around 6 to 7.5.
