Product Overview

The fruit of Valdivia Roja has a nice sweetness with an average Brix rating of 18. The fruit is oval, orangish red, with small green fins. The fruit size is about 0.5-0.75 lb. Flesh is deep red in color. Flowers are large 15″ night-bloomers with a nice fragrance. The flowers are white with red and yellow calyx (outer petals) making it very attractive.  Stems are thick three sided growth with a grayish white coating on them. Thorns on the stems are medium in size. The stems can tolerate both the heat and cold quite well, however a slow grower.

Self-Sterile - It needs cross pollination to set fruit, usually done by hand pollination from another variety

Dragon fruit are a 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. Protect from hard freezes. Dragon fruit can be grown in containers or in the ground, planted in well-drained soil, full sun and trained to a heavy-duty trellis to support weight of this fast-growing plant. 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.

All 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 shade to full sun over a period of at least three weeks to avoid sun scald. This could take longer in extreme heat.
