Default Re: Dragon Fruit

I have a few questions about caring for dragon fruit plants:

What is the typical part of the year (as in from what month to what month) that dragon fruit actively grow in Southern California (I'm San Fernando Valley area)?

What would be a good fertilizing regime for me to use with dragon fruit plants? I have Banana Fuel 20-5-30 and Gro More 20-20-20. My plants are still young, but are growing.

If (God forbid) I get a frost this winter and my plants are damaged by the frost, what do I do? Cut off all the dead parts?

Should I keep the soil moist during the off season, or let it dry out?
