250 Rare Red Dragon Fruit (Pitaya) Seeds Features
-
Germination time - Under the right conditions, dragon fruit can germinate in less than two weeks. The plant will then start growing. The plant will flower after six to eight months, and will bear fruit soon after that. Keep in mind the vase-grown plants may take up to two years before they start bearing fruit.
-
All seeds are new and not collected from inside dragon fruit until the fruits itself are old and dried, only then they are more likely to grow fruits and have higher rate of germination.
-
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS: (1) Start seeds indoors in small starter pots filled with moist seed-starting compost or sterile potting soil. Sow the seeds at a depth of 1/4- 1/2"- Use Plastic wrap (Optional) (2) Set the pots in a bright, indirect sun location and warm the soil to between 70° and 85°F using a warming mat (3) Water the soil with misting bottle when dry on surface (4) After seedling grows well, transplant them into a permanent garden bed or well draining 15 gallon pots.
-
Light Requirements – The base of the plant can see a little shade, but the tips of the plant require full sun to ensure that the plant blooms properly. If too much shade is given to the plant, the fruit will not do well.
-
Temperature Requirements – Dragon fruit will not grow in cold climates, so make sure that the temperature is above 40 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent damage from occurring to the plant. For optimal growth, the temperature needs to be between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
The growing season of this plant takes place during the hot months of the summer. It will not grow the rest of the year, but when it does grow, it grows rapidly. Blooms will occur from July to October, but they will only bloom for one night each year. After the flowering occurs, fruit will begin to form. One plant can produce fruit for 20 to 30 years, so if you plant one, be ready for a lot of dragon fruit.
-
Soil Requirements – This plant is able to grow in any soil that is well draining, but it prefers to grow in soil that is slightly acidic with a pH level that is between six and seven. Sandy soil is the best option for this plant; if it is not available, just ensure that it is well draining soil.
-
You can enjoy eating dragon fruit in fruit salads, it can be used to create tasty drinks and desserts, and it is a wonderful, healthy snack on its own.
-
Water – Watering dragon fruit depends on the climate, humidity, and age of the plant. Because this plant is a cactus plant, it is important to make sure that you are watering it properly. Only water the plant when the top of the soil is dry to the touch, and do not allow the plant to sit in water. The soil needs to be moist, not soaked.
-
Fertilizer – To ensure that the dragon fruit is growing properly, give it some fertilizer every month during the active growing season. During the cold winter months, you will want to stop feeding your plant for a few months.
About 250 Rare Red Dragon Fruit (Pitaya) Seeds
Description Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya or the strawberry pear, is a beautiful tropical fruit that is sweet and crunchy. The plant the fruit comes from is actually a type of cactus of the genus Hylocereus, which includes about 20 different species. Originally popular in Southeast Asia and Latin America, dragon fruit is now grown and enjoyed all over the world --- --- --- How to grow Dragon Fruit from Seeds : Using a germinating tray, plant the seeds in soil, but make sure that they are close to the top. Make sure that the soil is moist, and then cover it with plastic wrap until it germinates, which will take ten to 15 days. Once germination occurs, the young plants can be transplanted into a larger pot. Since dragon fruit does not like to grow in colder climates, having it planted in a pot can be a great idea. It allows you to easily move the plant indoors when the weather starts getting cold. Large pots are best; typically they should be at least 15 gallons. The pots also need to be well-draining so that the water does not sit in the base of the pot and cause root rot to occur.
