Well of course they are happy with sources of nitrogen and gibberellic acid. The canonical blooming time for Hylocereus species is after the summer solstice - and so introduction of a bloom stimulant before then is likely to produce an immature crop of fruit. The best practice I have seen in field trials here (San Diego county) is to feed the plants a 2:1:3 NPK ratio during the growing season - like most fruits, and receive a bountiful harvest during the production period.
