1. Climate and Sunlight:

• Warmth and Frost-Free: Dragon fruit prefers warm, tropical conditions with mild winters and no frost. It can tolerate short bursts of cold but ideally should be kept above 10C (50F).
• Sunlight: It needs at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and fruiting. However, in extremely hot climates (regularly near 38C or 100F), partial shade during the hottest part of the day can prevent sun scorch on the stems. Morning sun is particularly beneficial.
