Dragon fruit flowers open up at night and naturally they are pollinated by bats or moths. In order to achieve better fruit set, pollination can be aided, particularly in places where natural pollinators are lacking. Flowers do not stay long; therefore, it is important to be pollinated just in time. When the fruit comes, add a cover to prevent pests and birds by nets or coverings. Frequent pruning assists in keeping plants in shape and enhances the circulation of air and eliminates chances of infection. The skin should be bright and a little tender to touch with to be best when the fruit is ready to be eaten. Know more about how to grow dragon fruit
