Selenicereus undatus (formerly Hylocereus undatus), commonly known as dragon fruit or pitaya, is a climbing cactus prized for its vibrant, sweet fruit and spectacular nighttime blooms. Fun fact: dragon fruit flowers open for just one night and are among the largest flowers produced by any cactus, earning them the nickname "Queen of the Night." The plant is both highly ornamental and productive when grown on a sturdy trellis or support.

Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, allow the soil to dry between waterings and avoid overwatering
• Pruning: Prune after harvest to remove damaged or overcrowded stems and train growth on a support structure
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 2–3 months during the growing season; reduce feeding in winter
