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.

They worked for replacing shelves but I wouldn’t mount them on my wall
Size: 24inch, Color: Walnut
I specifically bought these shelves because of their dimensions. I have a built-in cabinet and when we moved in 6 or so years ago, the previous owners must have taken them with them when they moved. It’s been bothering me the whole time I’ve lived here and wanted to make some but just never found the time to get around to it. I measured them out and these floating shelves were perfect for the dimensions I needed to replace the missing shelves. Would I put these on my wall(s)? Absolutely not unless I corrected the mounting issues. One thing that really stuck out to me was how bad the design was for mounting these shelves. When I took them out of the packaging, the brackets were falling out of the back everywhere. This did not inspire too much confidence that if I hung them up, they would be stable. I’ve had a ton of floating shelves similar to this mounting design, but the arms that the boards slide into on the wall for this particular shelving are thin and flat (while being easily mailable with your hand alone) in comparison to every other one I’ve had being round, or at least decently thick, sometimes with additional screws that you can insert under the board and into the mounting arms for extra stability. Also, any time I’ve ever had to mount a similar floating shelf, it took some finesse and strength to release the mounting arms from the back of the shelf because they fit very snugly. The fact that the mounting brackets were falling out of the back means that they are not snug and prone to be very loose. Another thing that stuck out to me is that the shelves are hollow. Now, for my purposes, this is fine, but again, detracts significantly from the confidence that these would be stable if mounted on the wall and would most likely droop when weight was applied. I also took issue with the fact the boards had no protective covering and were jammed into a box, with the hardware pressing against one of the boards tightly. I just flipped the shelf over to mask the defect from packaging but the side I wanted to use because it had better coloring was the damaged side. Mine did not come with any mounting directions but some common sense would be all you needed to put up something so simple. However, it did not come with a template to mark the wall for spacing, which adds to the difficulty because you have to have precise DIY measurements to slide the boards onto the mounting arms correctly. To be honest, if I were to mount these, I would bypass the shoddy mounting provided and go with some heavy, durable brackets underneath. Overall, these shelves worked for my purposes but I can see how the reviews would be very mixed in terms of mounting and quality. I did get these on a limited time deal and they were priced at approximately $8 per shelf, which was a really good deal to get 4 shelves for that price in comparison to the “normal” price resulting in approximately $11/shelf. I wouldn’t have paid full price for these and would have been highly disappointed had I with the intention to mount them, especially since I would have needed to provide better and more stable mounting hardware. They are lesser quality than others within the same price range and I think you could do much better if your intention is to mount them.

Would purchase again
Size: 48inch, Color: Light Walnut
I was not sure what to expect when I purchased these. I thought maybe they were going to be a fake particle board. But this was a solid wood. Easy to install, no directions were in the box. There was a few chips in the corner of the wood but overall I would purchase again.

Would buy again and again
Color: Black, Size: 35.4 Inches
These are beautiful! I thought they’d be hard to install, but very straightforward and easy. They are quality and sturdy. I staggered the shelves and they hold a lot. Great value for the quality. I will be buying more for another room in the house.

Made my bathroom look beautiful
Color: White, Size: 15.7 Inches
The mounting and the color were excellent. I hung this in my bathroom and thought it was going to be a hard install for me. The hardware that came with this was very self explanatory. The fit was perfect and the quality was great. I would surely buy this item again in the future
