Dragon Fruit Plant
***Dragon fruit*** is a food that grows on a climbing cactus called hylocereus, which you'll find in tropical regions around the world. The plant's name comes from the Greek word "hyle," which means "woody," and the Latin word "cereus," which means "waxen." I have tried to eat these fruit way back 2017 few weeks before my due date. My uncle told me that these fruit was very healthy and nutritious. These morning as i talked to Sir Mike: Me: Sir, do you have a Dragon Fruit, I want to have that plant. I am planning to bring some in our province including the seedlings of the Fig Fruit. Sir Mike: Yes ma'am, we have. Come I'll show you. It's not properly cared but it is Dragon Fruit Plant.
We walked to the area where the Dragon Plant. Me: Can i have one sir, i want to re-plant it in a small pot so that i can easily bring it once its OK to travel going home to our province. Sir Mike: Sure ma'am, you can pick on them. Me: What color of fruit does these plant have sir? Sir Mike: Its a red one (hes referring to pink one ). I know it has three variety, red yellow and white. I have a yellow in Cavite, ill give you one when we come back from there. Me: Ok sir, Thanks a lot. 🙏🙏🙏 Then i got a small pot and pick one, Sir mike provided me a soil; transfer it to already and I am hoping it will live He advice me that the plant is a dessert plant like cactus that always need sunlight, so we put it on a safe area. I put inside the garden with a small gate to avoid it to be stolen.
Benefits of Dragon according to the article that i read; Low Cholesterol High in Fiber Antioxidant Rich Heart Healthy Skin Care High Source of Potassium Vitamin C It will take years before it will produce fruit, it will need proper care. Time passes quickly and one day we will wake up its produces fruit already. I really wanted to have these plant so that my child may know and somehow eat some of these in the future in our own harvest. It's memorable for me because i eat these fruit during my pregnancy on my daughter, that was my first and last time eating it. It was given by the neighborhood of my uncle who has that plant. I am being sentimental in some way.. I'm really am hoping it will live..🙏🙏🙏

Yeahhh... thank you. Yes that true it has a good benefits, its good for the heart is the reason why i wanted to have these plant.
I really love to eat this fruits.. The texture is so soft, taste good and delicious. The color is so nice. We buy that here 200 pesos Philippine money per kilo 😊😊
Yeah thats true, being so expensive is one reason that we can barely eat and have a taste of these fruit.
True dear, its about two pcs of dragon fruits for 200pesos imagine 😂😂.. Only two person can eat also.
That 200 pesos is already a budget of one family for the meal. Very expensive.
I hope that your plant will bear fruit po! We actually have one in our house and it's able to bear a fruit already. Take care po!
Thank you.. im really am hoping. Going to take care it properly..

Yes,its flower is different from any other flower.The color of its flower is white.You will see it when your plant already grow.😊
What color of fruit does your mam have? That plant was color red according to the one who gave me.
I don't know.hehe.Maybe it is white because its flower is white.
Thats nice, i intended to collect all color, they are 3 color red, yellow and white. That is red, and the one who gave me that has yellow also and promise to give me again some so i am missing a white one.
Are dragon fruit and cactus related?. We have also here in the house year ago i brought them from my aunt's place San Sebastian Luna. But until now it's like just starting to grow and maybe it will take long years to bear fruits.
Yes, it is..
Here in our home specifically our backyard, we have several dragon fruit plant, soon to be harvested. Honestly, there are several types of dragon fruits, we have here is the red one, which I think might take 2 months to produce a fruit.
Thats nice, do you how many times in a year it bear fruit?

Woww its nice to know that, may i asked whats the color of the dragon fruit plant that you are cultivating, i would be glad to know it. Thank you for having time reading my article.
Well you're lucky you have dragon fruit near you , i haven't seen one in here our place but i know that they can strengthen your immune system. Dragon fruit is high in vitamin C and other antioxidants, which are good for your immune system.
Been looking for this since 2017, the first time i tasted the fruit. Buying seedling of this plant will cost to much, so im lucky i meet someone with this kind of plant. 🙏🙏🙏
Great you should plant some now that you have seedlings.
