I'm growing Dragon trees in Wales so why not Dragon fruit! Any one got other Dragon themed plants we can grow in Wales for a laugh.

Hello,

Its an old post but it popped up on top of the google search is the dragon fruit still alive??? Would be interesting to know how its doing after few years...if its still around I have started growing dragon fruit from seeds so curious to know where can it get me!
Thanks in advance x

Hi there, i planted seeds from a dragon fruit from Asda about 3 years ago and it's in a conservatory in UK. It has just started flowering! I have read that it was very unlikey to happen so just wanted to share

Is that a Dragan fruit? Looks more like a nest of Vipers!

Yeah it's not very popular with my partner tbh.
I keep cutting it back and folding it in on itself so it doesnt get too big but it looks a mess!

Oh, dragon fruit! I have grown it a few years ago but unfortunately its leaves were getting brown and it finally withered. I must did something wrong because at the beginning it was growing perfectly. It is a kind of cactus which is not so demanding. What you need is a well drained soil (it prefers acidic soil but it will grow in any other) and a fertilizer. You should water it when the top of the soil is dry to the touch. Don't forget about the temperature. It need about 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit.

First flower is out for tonight. I have read up and learned that this type will not self pollinate though unfortunately.
