Hylocereus polyrhizus cacti, grown from seed. H. polyrhizus, also known as red dragon fruit or red pitaya, is a vining cactus which yields large, red skinned and deep red fleshed fruit. Red dragon fruit is rich in betacyanins, antioxidants and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Fruit has a sweet mild flavor, reminiscent of watermelon and strawberries with a texture similar to that of a pear or a kiwi. Plants are not self-fertile, but will pollinate readily with other individual dragon fruit plants. Flowers are large and white, producing an aroma most similar to vanilla.
You will receive a plant similar to those pictured above. Most plants have multiple (3 to 7) branches. For ones with multiple branches, specifically, feel free to message us and we will gladly accommodate.

Plants may appear wrinkled upon arrival, this is normal, plants are just dehydrated due to shipping and will "plump up" in time. All plants are greenhouse grown and are pest free, however due to this plants must be eased into direct sunlight over several days, otherwise plants will sunburn. Use well draining soil. Plants cannot sit in water, but prefer regular watering once every 9 days. Plants are not cold hardy and must be brought indoors should temperature drop below 32°F (0°C). Between December and March plants ship insulated in packing paper and a mylar heat blanket to pretect against extremes.
