Vietnamese Red is a self-fertile variety of dragon fruit. It produces a red fleshed fruit that weighs approximately 1 pound.
Dragon fruit can be grow in containers or in the ground as long as they are planted in well-drained soil, full sun and trained to a trellis to support weight of this fast-growing cactus. Protect from hard freezes.
Dragon Fruit Plant Care All of our dragon fruit plants have been greenhouse grown. When you receive your plants, please be patient in acclimating them to their new environment. This means slowly transitioning them from full shade to full sun over a period of at least three weeks. Dragon fruit is tropical fruiting cactus. Dragon fruit will not grow in cold climates, so make sure that the temperature is above 40 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent cold damage. Dragon fruit plants can be grown in large containers or the ground. Avoid overplanting into very large containers, instead gradually increase container size in relation to the plant size. We recommend a complete fertilizer during the growing season. Avoid overwatering in the winter to ensure the plant does not rot off.

Do not pay more elsewhere!
These well rooted cuttings are worth the $ spent. Bought a plant from a reputed box store and found no root at all. Just the cutting placed in the soil. Will definitely buy again from Cal Poly.

My plant was actually in a container made for mailing plants-first time ever. I will be using this site in the future.

Good Size Nice plant
I’m not sure if this one is self pollinating just a note for all dragon fruit buyers to be aware that the type of dragon fruit you buy is self pollinating otherwise buy more than one and different types in case they are cuttings from the same plant!!! Anyways this is my second dragon fruit of a different type so that I can pollinate my other that I purchased later down the road. I am in zone 9, California mid northern. I purchased one last year and it is growing fantastically!!! I purchased this one so it would have a mate. It came in wonderful condition about 7 inches tall and an inch wide A little on the smaller side than my other. The dirt did escape the pot but succulents/cacti are very easy to re-pot with no damage as long as the roots don’t completely dry up. So it was fine! Love it

Dragon fruit "Red Vietnamese"
The Red Vietnamese plant came and is very healthy. It is doing well. When it came it was very wet, the opposite of it's package mate, and wrapped in a wet paper towel, which made the packing peanuts stick to the newest growth and tore it off. The rest of plant is fine and healthy. I'd buy again, definitely. I like helping to support students, even in a small way. Looking forward to a mature plant and fruit!
