I’m looking to purchase Dragon Fruit cuttings for the first time. Is there a certain variety you would recommend for a beginner. I love the sweeter fruit the better ha! I don’t have room for to many because how big they can get but I was thinking three different. American Beauty, Robles Red, and I can’t decide the third. Either Darkstar S-9 or Vietnam white giant? Is there a certain variety you would recommend not to get or I should?
Hi there, sorry for late response. I'm pretty new in the dragonfruit world myself. All I know is that my Vietnam white variety is very bland and I've been experimenting different ways to make it sweet by grafting with purple flesh and red dragonfruit ones. Buying them at the store can be very pricey. It's best if you can just grow from a cutting from a friend and/or neighbor as they are very, very easy to root/grow indoor or outdoor, as I have done myself so far. Hope this helps and good luck!
Thanks for sharing!
