Even as commercial cultivation of dragon fruit picks up in the State, several households are hopping on the bandwagon
It was indeed a big moment for Rajan Varghese and his wife, Shailaja, when they plucked the first dragon fruit from the terrace garden of their house at Kanippayyur in Thrissur. “We planted the stem last November and have been looking forward to this day,” says Rajan. Shamna PK, a primary school teacher from Kavaratti in Lakshadweep is waiting for the plant on her terrace to flower. “Ever since I found that you could grow this at home, I wanted to try it out,” says Shamna.More Related News
