Dragon fruit flowers are spectacular, but flowering does not always mean fruit will set.
Pollination compatibility varies
Some cultivars are self-fertile while others benefit from or require pollen from another compatible cultivar. Flowers generally open at night and remain receptive for a limited period.
Hand pollination
Where natural pollination or compatibility is uncertain, hand pollination can improve the odds when suitable pollen is available.
