Planting and Caring for Your Dragon Fruit
As I know Home Depot doesn't have Voodoo Child anymore, now they have HYLOCEREUS POLYRHIZUS. Is there some reason why you put 4 in a pot and not just one? I'm confused about the logic of having more in a pot since no other plant I can think of likes to compete for space. Pitahaya was first discovered in Central America centuries ago, and has traveled to all corners of the globe. Early missionaries brought the Pitahaya to Asia where it has since been renamed and is more commonly known as Dragon Fruit.
To grow a dragon fruit plant, otherwise known as a Hylocereus cactus, start by filling a gardening pot with well-drained, sandy cactus soil. Then, grab either dried cactus cuttings or dragon fruit seeds and plant them flush with the soil line. Make sure you sprinkle the soil with a small amount of water whenever it gets dry, though be careful not to overwater it. If your plant has trouble growing, try adding slow-time release, low-nitrogen cactus fertilizer to the soil once a month. The last thing you want to use is a wet, mucky soil. They are light feeders that don't need a lot of nutrient love.
Welcome to Wallace Ranch Dragon Fruit
Altmuehlsee is according to me the most beautiful lake in the area. I visited it in winter so I can't say what is a service quality. But it seems to have everything one can need to relax on the beach or enjoy water sports. There is a bicycle path around the whole lake and marked hiking trail.
Even a cutting will take up to four months to get a good, strong root system going.
To my complete surprise, 2 of 4 cuttings sprouted new branches and roots, so I can plant now with long-term growth in mind." Yes, I have one that covers the trunk of a palm tree at about twenty feet tall. We have used hedge trimmers to cut it back lest it take over the palm. It produces beautiful huge yellow flowers, but in fifteen years it has only produced two fruits.
See inset photo of mature hanging dragon fruit vines. While your plant may take a couple of years to get fully going, some hit giant spurts where they can grow a foot in a week. When it does start developing, you may want to use a climbing pole to give it structure. Water the dragon fruit plant in the same manner as a tropical cactus. In other words, only give it a little water when it's practically dry. If your plant is large enough by now to have a climbing pole, keep the climbing pole moist.
Because these plants grow abundantly in tropical rain forests, your plant may require protection from intense sunlight, fog and frost. In the San Joaquin Valley this can be accomplished by planting in a container and placed in shade to part-shade. It is currently being imported from Vietnam, the Philippines, Mexico and a few other equatorial areas. A limited amount is being grown domestically in Florida, Southern California and Hawaii. This plant is very eye-catching, the unusual vine produces beautiful flowers and delicious fruit in the spring. Described as “a cross between a melon, kiwi and strawberry”.
It has sharp defensive hairs on its leaves and stems which will release pain-inducing chemicals when touched. To consume them more safely, stinging nettles must be thoroughly boiled. In Germany, Bavaria, Gunzenhausen, you can find Stinging nettle, Elder, English oak, Common yarrow, Orchard grass, and more! Be sure to look out for these common plants when you’re walking on the streets, in parks, or public gardens. Although the stinging nettle has a variety of uses it is best known for its eponymous sting. So you will have 4 plants/cuttings at the end of this year.
This will allow the wound to heal and prevent infection once it is planted. If you live in a warm area with a long, warm growing season, this plant could sustain being outside. They can generally handle a very light frost, but that's it.
Separated branches do not wither, but rather sprout their own roots in search of new soil. If you need more information about our wind forecast for Gunzenhausen, have a look at our help section.

Although the link talks about production pruning, this still applies to dragon fruit for landscaping purposes. Dragon fruit can be pruned to suit any backyard garden. Consider mixing a small amount of slow time release fertilizer into the lower level of the soil before planting; this may help your plant grow faster. The leaves of the plant should be exposed to full sun for best results. Make sure it's still getting adequate sunlight as it grows. If you obtain a fresh cutting, it is best to let it dry in a cool, shady spot for about a week.
The plants can handle temperatures up to 40°C (104°F) and very short periods of frost, but will not survive long exposure to freezing temperatures.
