Characterize

Isis Gold dragon fruit has bright yellow skin, similar to other yellow varieties. The skin has typical scales that are characteristic of dragon fruit.

The flesh is white and contains small, edible black seeds. The contrast between the yellow skin and the white flesh makes this variety visually appealing.

Isis Gold is known for its sweet and refreshing taste. The sweetness is similar to that of other premium yellow dragon fruit varieties, with a hint of honeyed undertones.

This variety produces medium to large fruits, often ranging from 200 to 600 grams.

Growing conditions

Dragon fruit thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. It prefers temperatures between 18°C and 29°C (65°F and 85°F) and can tolerate some drought, although it will require regular watering during the growing season.

Well-drained soil is essential to prevent root rot. A sandy or loamy soil with a good organic matter content is ideal.

Full sun is best, but it can also grow in partial shade. Make sure the plant gets at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily for optimal fruit yield.

As a climbing cactus, the pitaya plant needs a supporting structure to grow on, such as a trellis or a pole.

Care and Maintenance

Water the plant regularly, but avoid overwatering. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer can promote growth and fruit yield. Organic compost or a slow-release fertilizer works well.

Pruning helps manage the size of the plant and encourages more fruit yields. Remove damaged or overcrowded stems.
