Selenicereus undatus– The Stunning Dragon Fruit Cactus

Selenicereus undatus, commonly known as the Dragon Fruit Cactus, is an extraordinary plant that not only serves as a striking ornamental cactus but also produces the well-loved dragon fruit. With its sprawling, climbing growth habit and large, fragrant night-blooming flowers, this plant is an excellent choice for gardeners and plant enthusiasts looking to add a touch of the exotic to their collection.

Botanical Name: Selenicereus undatus (Previously classified as Hylocereus undatus)
Common Names: Pitahaya, Yellow Pitahaya, Pitaya Roja, White Fleshed Dragon Fruit

Whether you're growing it for its spectacular blooms, delicious fruit, or its ability to thrive in challenging conditions, this cactus is a versatile and rewarding addition to any garden or indoor space.


Why Choose Selenicereus undatus?

  • Produces Exotic, Nutrient-Rich Dragon Fruit – Your Selenicereus undatus will reward you with vibrant, pink-skinned dragon fruit filled with delicious white pulp and tiny edible seeds. This fruit is packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C.
  • Night-Blooming Beauty – The flowers of this cactus, sometimes called "Queen of the Night," bloom in the evening, filling the air with a sweet fragrance. Each flower lasts only a single night, making it an exciting event when they appear.
  • Climbing Growth for Unique Displays – Unlike many cacti, this species has long, vining stems that can be trained to climb trellises, walls, or other supports.
  • Drought-Tolerant and Low Maintenance – This plant thrives in warm, dry climates and requires minimal watering, making it perfect for those who want an easy-care addition to their garden.
  • Pollinator-Friendly – Its large, fragrant blooms attract moths, bats, and other nighttime pollinators, supporting biodiversity.
  • Container Friendly – If you don’t have an outdoor garden, you can easily grow this cactus in a large container, making it a great choice for patios and indoor spaces with bright light.

What Makes This Cactus Unique?

Dragon fruit cacti are distinct from other cacti because of their rapid growth and ability to climb. Unlike barrel cacti or columnar cacti, Selenicereus undatus has long, segmented stems that branch out in all directions, creating a jungle-like appearance. It’s also one of the few cacti that produce an edible fruit highly valued in health-conscious diets worldwide.

Unlike some other night-blooming cacti, which may only bloom once in a long while, this species can flower multiple times in a season under ideal conditions. This means you get more opportunities to witness its stunning blooms and, of course, enjoy its delicious fruit.


Growing and Caring for Your Selenicereus undatus

Light Requirements

Your Dragon Fruit Cactus loves bright, indirect sunlight. If grown outdoors, it should be placed in a location with filtered sun or partial shade in extremely hot climates. Indoors, a south-facing window or a grow light can help it thrive.

Watering Needs

While it is drought-tolerant, this cactus benefits from occasional deep watering. Water when the soil is dry to the touch, but avoid letting it sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.

Soil and Potting

This plant prefers well-draining, sandy soil. A cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or sand works best. If growing in a pot, make sure it has drainage holes to prevent excess moisture buildup.

Temperature and Humidity

As a tropical cactus, Selenicereus undatus enjoys warm temperatures between 65–85°F (18–29°C). It can tolerate brief drops in temperature but should be brought indoors or protected from frost in cooler climates.

Fertilizing for Growth and Fruit Production

To encourage healthy growth and fruiting, use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). A fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium can help promote more flowering and fruit production.

Pruning and Support

Since this cactus is a climbing species, providing a trellis or some other form of support will help guide its growth. You can prune it as needed to control its size and encourage more branching.


Harvesting and Enjoying Your Own Dragon Fruit

If you’re growing Selenicereus undatus for its fruit, you’ll want to keep an eye on its blooms. After pollination (either naturally by nocturnal pollinators or manually by hand), the flowers will give way to developing dragon fruits. These typically take 30-50 days to mature.

You’ll know your dragon fruit is ready to harvest when:

  • The skin turns bright pink or red.
  • The fruit feels slightly soft when pressed.
  • The scales on the fruit begin to spread outward.

To harvest, simply twist the fruit off the plant or cut it with a sharp knife. Once harvested, you can enjoy the fruit fresh, blended into smoothies, added to fruit salads, or used in desserts.


Interesting Facts About Selenicereus undatus

  • An Ancient Superfood – Dragon fruit has been consumed for centuries, originally cultivated in Central and South America before becoming popular in Asia and other tropical regions.
  • Cross-Pollination – We recommend buying this with a companion Dragon Fruit Plant like our Edgar’s Baby Dragon Fruit to help produce fruit.
  • Grows Up to 20 Feet Long (If you let it)! – When given proper support, this cactus can grow impressively large, making it a great statement plant in any garden. You can also keep this plant potted to maintain a smaller size.
  • Eco-Friendly Choice – Since dragon fruit is a low-maintenance crop requiring minimal water compared to other fruit-producing plants, it’s a more sustainable option for home gardeners.

Is Selenicereus undatus Right for You?

This cactus is perfect for you if:
✔ You want a low-maintenance yet highly rewarding plant.
✔ You love exotic fruits and want to grow your own fresh dragon fruit.
✔ You enjoy watching large, fragrant flowers bloom at night.
✔ You need a drought-tolerant, heat-loving plant for your garden.
✔ You want a fast-growing, climbing cactus to add vertical interest to your space.

Whether you grow it for its fruit, its spectacular blooms, or its unique growth habit, Selenicereus undatus is a fantastic plant to add to your collection. With minimal care, it will thrive and bring beauty and bounty to your home or garden for years to come.

Great value, great product!
I use this as a home jewelry box - I don't wear a lot of jewelry, so it fits my needs perfectly. Its pretty lightweight and would be good for travels as well. The outside is leather-like and seems to be waterproof so far. I use the first layer for jewelery and second layer to store my hairclips and pins. I've had it for a few months and it seems to be great quality and durable! Definitely a good value as well because I've seen similar jewelry boxes sold at popular retail stores for over $30.

Lovely Slate Gray Jewelry Box
I just received this Slate Gray jewelry box. It's really quite lovely and just the right size for my granddaughter's vanity. I'm really excited about giving it to her, for her 12th Birthday, to hold her better jewelry. It's so nice I'm going to order another one for my other Granddaughter's Birthday.

Songmics Slate Gray Travel Jewelry Box
I purchased the slate gray Songmics jewelry box for travel purposes. We take long vacations and have an upcoming 20 day cruise. I wanted a jewelry box that was compact enough to put in my carry-on bag, but still had room to hold a months worth of jewelry, especially to keep my necklaces for tangling. When this arrived, I was pleasantly surprised and the packaging was great, shipped in a sturdy box. so no damage to the jewelry box. The color is a rich gray and the 2 tier box, while small, holds a lot of jewelry. I wanted to purchase the ink black but could not justify paying twice the price of the gray one just to get it in black. It is small enough that it will fit in most any hotel/ship safe so I won't be sitting out in the room anyway. It has a strong magnetic snap that keeps the box from opening while in transit. The one negative for me is that the pierced earring card is so thick that my earrings barely go through to have enough room on the back side the slip the backs on. I may separate the double thick card, realizing it will not look as nice but will be more functional. The bottom half of the box will hold bracelets up to 1 1/4" wide. There is enough room under the earrings card to place pendants, additional earrings, etc. The necklace holder is designed to hold 5 necklaces, but I added one more by going across the top, end to end, to prevent tangling. I also placed smaller hoop earrings in the ring holder which holds them securely. This box held 7 bracelets, 2 of which were wide, 5 rings, 9 necklaces (I placed 3 in the bottom of the box, and had room for 23 pair of earrings (some placed in the ring holder and in the bottom of the bo)! I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
