Gardening Tips: 8 Steps to Grow Exotic Dragon Fruit in Your Balcony With Ease

Dragon fruit is a climbing cactus that requires a large, sturdy pot with drainage holes and well-draining soil mix of garden soil, compost, and sand or coco peat.

The plant needs a sturdy pole or trellis for support and at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily to promote flowering and fruit production.

Water only when the top layer of soil is dry to avoid overwatering, and apply organic compost or balanced fertilizer during the growing season.

Harvest the fruit when the skin is bright and even in color and slightly soft to the touch for the sweetest flavor.
