Here’s what you need to know about this exotic treat, including its many potential health benefits, nutritional information, how it tastes, and the ways to eat it. What Is Dragon Fruit ? Dragon fruit can be self-fertile. This means that you only need to plant one plant to produce fruit. But, more plants will allow you to increase the yield. The seeds from the fruit can also be used to propagate this plant. To do this, slice the fruit in half. Then scoop out the seeds and wash them. After drying the seeds, you can place them in potting dirt. Place the seeds in the soil, and then cover with plastic wrap. Let the soil remain moist for about 10 to 15 more days before germinating. Once they have sprouted, you can transplant them to a slightly larger container. You may politely request a cutting if you are fortunate enough to have a friend with mother plants. Once this is done, let the ends dry out for a few more days. Once your section is dry, you can place it in the soil about two inches deep. The soil should remain moist but not soggy. Your plant should begin to grow in about three to four weeks. It may take two years for it to produce fruits.
