Also am starting to think my one tiny sprout is a weed because it doesn't look like normal dragonfruit that I've seen on YouTube videos. YouTube videos show the sprouts as two and mine is only one.

If you want to purchase dragon fruits, there are several reliable online organizations that will ship the dragon fruits to you at reasonable price:

- http://www.localharvest.org
- http://www.tropicalfruitgrowers.com

Local harvest is an organization that promotes local farmers in Florida that sells tropical fruits on line. They are reliable and trustworthy. Tropicalfruitgrowers.com lists all of the appropriate tropical fruit growers that can ship various tropical fruits to you.

Unfortunately, dragon fruit is not in season right now so you will need to check the sites periodically. In terms of the sites such as buyexoticfruits.com; fruitsofthemonthclub.com; organicfruitofthemonthclub.com are all scams - they are owned by the same person, please do not buy from them (I made a mistake and my money was taken and they never ship the product nor responded to my numerous inquiries).

Dragon Fruit seeds germinate easily. They don't look much like the mature pitaya for quite a while. It takes a very long time for the plant to reach fruiting size. I agree with the previous post. Buy a mature plant or get cuttings from someone on the plant exchange. A pitaya gets huge and needs a large strong support. It's not something that's easily moved and if you are not in a frost free zone should be kept year round in a greenhouse.

If you are still interested, I have lots of fresh dragon fruit seeds for trade. I'm looking for other jungle cacti seeds, echinopsis seeds, jasmine seeds, stephanotis seeds. You can reach me at fleurkat@hotmail.com
