How long should grow lights be on for the dragon fruit indoors?

As the title suggests, I am not familiar with the dragon fruit.

Vegetative Stage

12 to 16 hours a day of continuous light are advised. Longer light duration encourages vegetative growth, which helps the plant form robust roots and stems.

Flowering and Fruit Stage

It is best to cut down on the amount of light exposure to 8 to 10 hours each day during this phase. This shortening of the light’s duration simulates variations in the length of the days, signaling the plant to begin flowering and fruit development.

More importantly, it’s crucial to adjust the light duration according to your dragon fruit plant’s particular requirements and reactions.
