Dragon fruit plant belongs to the cactus family. But, unlike the cacti that typically grow in dry desert, dragon fruit is a subtropical cactus that thrives in mild, humid environments.
Dragon fruit has aerial roots. It gets water and nutrients not only from the soil but from the surrounding air as well. Those aerial roots absorb moisture from fog and the humid air, besides anchoring the plant to its support.
Dragon fruit needs plenty, but not too much, water. It does not want its roots to be soaked in water. Too much water, either from overwatering or from excessive rainfall, can actually damage this plant.
So, how much water and how often do you have to water your dragon fruit?
