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.

Growing and Care Instructions

Dragon fruit cactus (Pitahaya roja) thrives in well-draining soil with moderate watering, requires full sun (6-8 hours daily), tolerates temperatures between 65-100°F, benefits from a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks, and should be pruned to remove dead or weak growth annually.

  • Fertilizing

    Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.

  • Watering

    Allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

  • Light Requirements

    Full sun to partial shade.

Healthy, full, and worth recommending

I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.

The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.

I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.

Thank you so much!
