Robles Red Dragon Fruit Cuttings

Offered as a live cutting from the famous Wallace Ranch lineage, Robles Red lets gardeners grow a vigorous, high-performing dragon fruit variety developed by breeder Julio Robles. This hybrid combines American Beauty flower with Orejona pollen, producing strong, early-fruiting plants known for exceptional weather tolerance and consistent yields. When mature, it bears round, thick-skinned pink fruit with dark magenta flesh—firm, mildly sweet, and lightly tart with a subtle floral scent. The thicker skin helps resist bruising, making it ideal for growers seeking durability and quality. The cutting establishes quickly in full sun and well-draining soil, rooting readily in warm conditions. With a fast growth rate and balanced flavor profile, Robles Red is an outstanding choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and performance in their tropical plant collection.

Did You Know? Robles Red ripens a few days faster than most dragon fruit varieties, making it one of the earliest to harvest each season.

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.
