Bien Hoa White Dragon Fruit Cuttings

Offered as a live cutting, Bien Hoa White is a dependable dragon fruit variety ideal for gardeners seeking a classic white-fleshed type with gentle sweetness and balanced tang. A moderate grower with steady fruiting habits, this Hylocereus undatus cactus develops pink-skinned fruit with crisp white flesh when mature—clean, refreshing, and delicately sweet. The plant thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it suitable for both in-ground and container growing. Its segmented, upright stems climb steadily on trellises, producing multiple flushes of fruit once established. Bien Hoa White is self-fertile, easy to manage, and known for reliable yields in warm, frost-free climates. As a cutting, it roots easily under warm, dry conditions and becomes a resilient addition to any tropical fruit garden, offering elegance and flavor potential in equal measure.

Did You Know? Bien Hoa White is slightly sweeter than the popular Vietnamese White, with a hint of tropical tang for added depth.

How to Root Your Cutting: Plant the cutting with the correct end down—the thorns should point upward, indicating the top. Rooting upside down can prevent or stunt growth. For best results, root cuttings in spring or summer when temperatures are warm (70–90°F). Place in well-draining soil and keep slightly moist until roots form, usually within 2–3 weeks. Keep in bright, indirect sunlight or a sheltered outdoor area. Once rooted, move to full sun with a trellis or post for support. A 25-gallon container can support up to four plants.

Soil and Drainage Needs: Dragon fruit cuttings thrive in a fast-draining, aerated mix that prevents excess moisture around the roots. For best results, use a quality cactus mix blended with pumice or perlite to enhance drainage. To boost fertility, incorporate a small amount of organic compost or worm castings. Many growers find success with a 50/50 blend of cactus mix and compost, or a custom mix of one-third cactus soil, one-third perlite or pumice, and one-third compost. Avoid standard potting soil, as it retains too much moisture and can cause root rot in dragon fruit plants.
