Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya or pitayaha, is an incredible fruit produced by a cactus! Contrary to its name, the dragon fruit care is actually not like most cacti. It prefers nutrient-rich, well draining soil, a lot of space, and a decent (but not overwhelming) amount of sun.

I got some cuttings of the Hylocereus undatus variety, which is the red-skinned and white-fleshed variety. There are two other varieties:

- Hylocereus costaricensis: Red skin and red flesh
- Hylocereus megalanthus: Yellow skin and white flesh

Follow along as I learn how to grow dragon fruit in containers and compete against my friend to see who can grow the most EPIC dragonfruit. Just be patient...part 2 of this series might take a few months to come out!
