Dragon Fruit are not a desert cactus. They are members of the cactus family that climb trees in the subtropical and tropical jungles of the Mexican Yucatan, Venezuela, etc. In non-coastal areas of southern California they do best with afternoon shade. They can be severely damaged by freezing weather. The are partial xerophytes and do well in most soils that drain well, provided it contains some organic material. Agriculturally in southern California they are watered once per week or once every two weeks depending on the species. They respond well to any fertilizer that has significant mineral content such as Citrus or Banana fertilizer.
