Planting Pitahaya.

We are planting out some more Pitahaya (Dragonfruit) along our stone planting beds.  Once the cactus start drooping down, they will start to flower.  The most common variety in Belize and Central America is the one with red pulp.  The more common type in Asia is the white pitahaya.  These plants tend to prefer dry areas and have a hard time with wet feet.  We have planted pitahaya in Toledo with some success on high, dry ground.  We harvest the seeds to make our White Pitahaya Facial Soap:

These facial bars are made from coconut oil and are indicated for acne-prone skin.  They are deeply cleansing and exfoliating.
