White Dragon Fruit Plant (Hylocereus undatus)
White Dragon Fruit – Exotic, Edible & Surprisingly Easy to Grow
Meet one of the most visually stunning edible plants you can grow. The White Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) is a climbing tropical cactus that produces large, jewel-toned fruit with sweet, mild white flesh—and puts on a show along the way with its dramatic, night-blooming flowers.
This 3-gallon specimen arrives established and ready to climb, fruit, and impress.
Why Gardeners Love White Dragon Fruit:
- Spectacular Night Blooms: Enormous, fragrant flowers open after dark—a genuine conversation piece and pollinator magnet.
- Delicious Fruit: Mild-sweet white flesh with a refreshing, light flavor. Great fresh, in smoothies, or as a garnish.
- Container-Friendly: Grows beautifully in large pots—bring it indoors when temps drop below 32°F.
- Low Maintenance: Drought-tolerant once established; thrives with minimal watering like most cacti.
- Fast-Growing Climber: Give it a trellis, fence, or sturdy support and watch it take off.
Care at a Glance:
- Light: Full sun; at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Water: Water deeply but infrequently; allow soil to dry between waterings.
- Soil: Well-draining cactus or sandy mix; avoid heavy, moisture-retaining soils.
- Support: Provide a trellis or sturdy post—stems can reach 10–20 feet.
- Fertilizer: Apply a low-nitrogen cactus fertilizer in spring and summer.
- Growing Zones: USDA Hardiness Zones 10–11 outdoors; grown as a container plant in all other zones and overwintered indoors.
