FREE: Red Dragonfruit

The listing, Red Dragonfruit has ended.

A vining, terrestrial or epiphytic cactus, with fleshy stems reaching from a few inches up to 20ft long (in mature plants). The plant may grow out of, and over the ground or climb onto trees using aerial roots. Flowers are ornate and beautiful, and many related species are propagated as ornamentals. They bloom only at night, and usually last just one night where pollination is necessary to set fruit. In full production, pitahaya plants can have up to 4-6 fruiting cycles per year. Will tolerate temperatures to 104F, and short periods of frost, but prolonged cold will damage or kill the plant. Hardy to around 32-35F. Dragon Fruit grows best in dry, tropical or subtropical climates where annual rainfall ranges from 20-50" per year. 20+ seeds. I recommend the paper towel method for starting these.
