Dragon Fruit Delight: Growing Your Own Oasis in Tires

Care and Maintenance

• Watering: Dragon fruit is drought-tolerant, but regular watering is essential, especially during the growing season. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Fertilization: Feed your plant with a balanced fertilizer every few months during the growing season.
• Pruning: Regular pruning encourages growth and fruit production. Remove dead or weak branches.
• Protection: Protect your dragon fruit from frost. In colder climates, consider bringing the plants indoors during winter.

Harvesting Your Dragon Fruit

Dragon fruit typically ripens in summer. The fruit is ready to harvest when its skin color is vibrant and it yields slightly to gentle pressure.

With patience and care, your tire planter can become a bountiful source of delicious dragon fruit. Enjoy the satisfaction of growing your own exotic fruit and sharing the harvest with friends and family!
