Description

Dragon Fruit- Red Jade (Cutting)

Selenicereus guatemalensis

Synonyms: Selenicereus hybrid

NOT TO TAS, WA

  • Climbing perennial cactus
  • Hot pink flowers and purple fleshed fruit
  • Requires cross-pollination

A succulent perennial cactus that grows as a climbing vine with striking hot pink flowers that open at night. The fruit has red skin with green fins and purple flesh with a sweet berry flavour. This variety is self-sterile and requires cross pollination with another variety.

This species is native to Guatemala. The cactus-like plants are succulent and are usually grown up a pole or trellis, with multiple, spreading branches at the top. Tropical flowers that resemble waterlilies open at night and are pollinated by bats or moths. The fruit has a hard skin and soft, sweet-falvoured flesh speckled with small edible seeds. Also known as 'Pitaya', ''Pitahya', 'Queen of the Night', 'Night-blooming Cactus', 'Moonlight Cactus' and 'Cinderella Plant'.

Note: bare-rooted cuttings are between 15cm and 25cm in length. Plant with the arrow pointing upwards.
