Why we chose Dragon fruit farming—and why now is the best time to start





When we first stepped into farming, we weren’t just looking for a crop. We were searching for something that could grow with us—something strong, resilient, and rewarding in the long run. That’s how our journey with dragon fruit began.

It started with a few cuttings, some open land, and a dream. Over the years, as we watched our plants climb up their supports and bloom under the stars, we realized we had found something special. Dragon fruit is more than just a pretty fruit with vibrant colours—it’s a farmer’s friend in every way.

India’s climate is changing rapidly. Some parts are scorched by heat waves while others receive heavy monsoon showers. It can be unpredictable and often discouraging for anyone hoping to grow a stable crop. But what we discovered through experience is this: dragon fruit thrives in extreme conditions. It’s naturally adapted to handle heat and even short dry spells. And with a little planning, it can do equally well during heavy rains.

That’s why we always say—this is the best season to plant dragon fruit.The soil is soft from the rains in many regions, which makes it easier for new roots to settle in. In drier areas, the warm weather still supports healthy growth, especially if you can provide minimal irrigation. We’ve found that planting during this transitional period gives the plant time to establish itself before winter.

But of course, it’s not just about weather. It’s also about the little things we’ve learned along the way—like the importance of mulching during monsoons to keep roots dry, or planting shade-loving herbs and flowers nearby during peak summer to give some relief to young plants. Dragon fruit doesn’t demand much. It asks for support to climb, a little care when young, and then it gives back generously. That low-maintenance nature is part of what makes it so rewarding.

Today, we’re proud to say that we’ve grown not just healthy plants, but a full circle of learning. Our mature, well-cared-for mother plants have now given us strong, high-quality cuttings. We offer both rooted and fresh cuttings for sale—perfect for anyone looking to start their own patch, whether it’s in a backyard or a farm.

We promote dragon fruit farming not just because it’s profitable, but because it’s sustainable, climate-resilient, and beautiful. Watching a plant that can survive scorching sun and monsoon rains bloom into a fruit-bearing wonder is an experience that still amazes us. And we’d love for more people to experience that joy.

If you’ve been thinking of starting something new, this is a great place to begin. Our cuttings are ready—and so is the season.
