Dragon fruit plants are usually circulated through stem cuttings and flower buds develop after 15-18 months of planting and it also requires 28-30 days for maturing.

It helps in strengthening the immune system of the human body and can be used for the treatment of diabetes, heart diseases and advantageous in maintaining healthy body weight. The harvest and nutritional value of Dragon fruit in Mizoram differ depending on the species, cultivation practices, growing area and harvesting time and in which the fruit peel has a high potential to be used as a natural dye. The numbers of dragon fruit farmers/growers are gradually increasing due to better prospects of a profitable price of their product in the markets across Mizoram.
