Thoroughly clean the black seeds, then pour the black sesame-like seeds on a napkin to dry and set aside. (If you are trying to grow them, you can directly pick a few dozen with a toothpick, wash them and dry them).

2. Clean and dry the seeds.

3. Find a suitable pot without holes, a small bowl will do, add nutrient soil (or culture soil, gardening soil) about 90% full, spray some water on the soil (use a spray bottle, don't water directly) to make the soil surface moist, then sprinkle the seeds evenly on the nutrient soil, spray some water, and cover the mouth of the pot with insurance film.

4. Lift the protective film and spray some water every other day, and the seedlings will sprout after 2-3 days. The insurance film is no longer needed. The seedlings are green and cute.

5. Let the seedlings grow for a few days in ventilated conditions. When the seedlings are about 15cm long, they can be transplanted.

Dragon fruit prefers a warm and humid environment with temperatures between zero and forty degrees Celsius. It is best to choose neutral or slightly acidic soil for planting so that they can grow faster. In fact, growing dragon fruit is a job that requires a lot of carefulness and patience. Everyone likes to eat dragon fruit, but few people actually know how to grow it.
