Choose Fresh Seeds – Scoop seeds from a ripe dragon fruit, rinse, and dry them before planting.
Use Well-Draining Soil – A cactus mix or sandy soil works best to prevent root rot.
Plant in a Shallow Tray – Scatter seeds lightly over the soil, cover with a thin layer, and mist with water.
Provide Warmth & Sunlight – Keep the tray in a warm spot (70–85°F) with indirect sunlight for germination.
Keep Soil Moist, Not Wet – Mist regularly to maintain moisture without overwatering.
Transplant Seedlings – Once they grow a few inches tall, move them to individual pots with support for climbing.
Be Patient – Dragon fruit plants take time to mature and may take a few years to bear fruit.
