Great topic to bring attention to. When I was a beginner to dragon fruit, I was unfortunately fooled by the same problem. I've since learned that the plants on the left are indeed polyrhizus, while the plants that I ended up buying on the right are guatemalensis hybrids: either American Beauty or Physical Grafitti. PG is better than any polyrhizus plant I think, but it was still an unfortunate experience that should be corrected by the big home improvement stores.
Great info! Based on your input all of my dragon fruits I've bought from Home Depot / been gifted are the hybrids from Guatemala. I bought an official American Beauty, so hopefully the home depot ones turn out closer to Physical Grafitti so I can have more variety.
@DragonFruitDude Hopefully they do! You can call the company that provides the dragon fruit plants and see if they have anymore info about the exact varieties they sell. In the end, I'm glad that I ended up with a Physical Graffiti instead of the Polyrhizus I wanted to buy, as the Physical Graffiti is one the best fruits I've ever had. Good luck.
@DragonFruitDude I can sell you some new varieties of dragon fruit for a huge discount if you're ever interested, so you're not stuck with so many Guatemalensis hybrids. Just let me know and I'll set you up if you ever decide you want more varieties :).
@@cactiman3282 thanks for the offer! Other than the home depot DF, I've just planted Sugar Dragon, Palora, American Beauty, Purple Haze, and Delight. So for now I am maxed out, but I am sure I'll want to try some new ones in a year or two. We could trade too if I've got some you want to try once mine grow.
