Dragon fruit are native to Mexico, Central America, and South America (Crane & Balerdi, n.d.). ... Only three states grow dragon fruit commercially: California (primarily Southern California), Florida, and Hawaii

To grow dragon fruit from seed, slice a dragon fruit in half and use a spoon to scrape out some seeds. Rinse the seeds. Pulp will cling to the seeds, and it's fine to plant with it attached. Fill a cup or small pot with sterile seed starter or cactus soil mix.

Depending on variety, it is best to hand-clip fruit at harvest when well-colored from yellow or pink to red.

Wash off the fruit flesh and pulp from the seeds and lay out the seeds on a moist paper towel for at least twelve hours. Plant the seeds. Sprinkle the dragon fruit seeds across the soil surface and cover with a thin layer of soil. It's okay if it barely covers the seeds—they don't need to be planted deep.. . . . .364011235478!]0000000000000009783314147507!]
