To ensure your Hylocereus Undatus thrives, provide it with plenty of sunlight – at least 6 hours of direct sun daily.

Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a cactus mix with added perlite, to promote healthy root growth. Maintain a temperature range of 68–95°F (20–35°C), and protect the plant from frost by bringing it indoors if temperatures drop below 41°F (5°C). A trellis or pole is essential for supporting the climbing growth habit of the Dragon Fruit Plant. Hand-pollination can improve fruit yield, especially if you only have one plant.
