Key Features

Dragon fruit cactus, or pitahaya roja from Florida, features vibrant pink skin, flat green leaves, large fragrant white flowers up to 12 inches, and sweet, mildly tangy flesh with tiny black seeds.

Special considerations

Dragon fruit cactus (Pitahaya Roja) requires well-draining soil, full sun exposure, and minimal watering, needing special care in colder climates to prevent frost damage.
