Gardeners in USA and Canada want to grow dragon fruit in pots.

As long as the plant is kept from freezing, it will grow well with very

little soil. The photos below show different size plants. In order to

get flowers and fruits, the vines have to grow over 10 pounds in weight.

This picture shows a bonsai cactus plant about 3.5 inches tall. The green part is hylocereus undatus. The yellow top is grafted for decorative value.

Richard Sar took this photo of two dragon fruit plants growing in tubs. The plants flower and bear fruit in coastal California.

Plants in pots, growing in Thailand.



Twelve dragon fruit growers got together in San Diego October 2005 to
compare the harvest. The flesh of the fruit range from white to pink to deep red.
The pink fruits come from hybrid seeds between the red and the white flesh plants.
Photos were taken by Edgar Valdivia who lives in Simi Valley.
