Do you deliver pitaya plants in the Bay Area?
Yes. We offer local delivery across much of the San Francisco Bay Area, with scheduling at checkout when available.

Will pitaya survive winter outdoors here?
In warm microclimates it can, but frost is risky. If you’re in a colder or windy spot, grow in a container so you can protect or move it during cold snaps.

Does pitaya need full sun?
It performs best with lots of light and warmth. In hotter inland locations, a little afternoon protection can prevent stress, especially for younger plants.

Do I need two plants for fruit?
It depends on the variety. Some set fruit more reliably on their own, while others benefit from cross-pollination. If fruiting is your priority, planting more than one compatible type can help.

How long until it fruits?
With good warmth, training, and care, established plants may flower and set fruit sooner than many fruit trees. Timing varies by variety, growing conditions, and how quickly a canopy forms.

What size pot should I use?
Choose a heavy, stable container with excellent drainage. A larger pot supports faster growth, better moisture stability, and a sturdier trellis setup.

How often should I water?
Water thoroughly, then let the mix dry down noticeably before watering again. Frequency changes with heat, wind, container size, and soil mix.

Can I grow it on a fence or pergola?
Yes—provided the structure is strong. Mature plants can get heavy, so prioritize sturdy posts, anchors, and durable ties.
