Processing the dragon fruit

Dragon fruit has a lot of seeds, so we should make reasonable use of them, and dragon fruit is also one of the fruits this editor loves to eat. We just need to process the seeds inside the dragon fruit a little and we can turn it into a potted plant. The first thing we need to do is cut the dragon fruit in half and scoop its seeds into a bowl.

Processing the seeds

We just need to add some water to the flesh, then put it in a paper towel and rub it a bit to separate the flesh from the seeds. Then we pour out the flesh and keep rubbing; when only the seeds are left, we can strain them. We use toilet paper to blot away the moisture, spread the seeds evenly on the windowsill, and dry them in the sun. Only when the seeds are dry can we plant them.

Choosing the soil

Processing the seeds of the dragon fruit is actually very simple; we just need to keep those black seeds. When choosing a pot and soil for it, we can choose a pot without a drainage hole at the bottom, then fill it with some loose sandy soil.

Adding plastic wrap

If it is not moist enough, we can spray some water on it to make the soil more moist, then place the dragon fruit seeds evenly in the pot. At this point we can put on a layer of plastic wrap; if there is no plastic wrap, we can put on a layer of plastic bag for insulation.

Carrying out care

After we cover it with plastic wrap, we can open it once a day to let it breathe, and we can also spray a mist of water on it at this time. When it grows small seedlings, we then remove the plastic wrap. If we care for it properly, in about seven days we can see the dragon fruit seedlings filling the pot, and after care it is about 1 cm tall, which is also very beautiful. Gradually its seed coat will fall off, and small green sprouts will grow out, very beautiful.

Over a longer time

With just this normal care, after three months it can grow small cactus-like balls. Once it grows small cactus-like balls, it has produced fruit; after about six months, it can grow dragon fruit, and the dragon fruit is also very beautiful. In fact, when we care for a potted dragon fruit, its stems are like dragon bones, and when it grows dragon fruit, it also looks like a small cactus when passing through water.

Conclusion: If you like eating dragon fruit, you can grow it this way, and we can also keep the potted dragon fruit as an ornamental plant; it is very beautiful. Growing dragon fruit in a pot is not difficult; we just need to pay attention to these few points and your dragon fruit will have fruit as well as a scenic view.
