Hand-pollinating dragon fruit with a pollen brush is common among growers, as it increases the chances of successful fruit set, especially in regions where natural pollinators, such as bats, are less common.
A pollen brush for dragon fruit is a small, soft-bristled tool used to collect and transfer pollen from one dragon fruit flower to another for hand-pollination.
Since dragon fruit flowers are nocturnal bloomers with large, delicate blossoms, the brush is gentle to avoid damaging the flowers.
