In our nursery we have various forms of one plant. Plants are living beings and so they are sometimes different. Variations in color and size are therefore possible.

The pictures shown with our products are sample pictures. These photos give a true picture of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications are leading for the plant received. Please read the characteristics carefully before ordering.

What are sample images?

We have an extremely large, extensive assortment with thousands of plants. In addition, because specific plants change in shape, color and size on a weekly basis, it is impossible for our small team to capture all specific plants. Each plant grows in a unique way, so it is perfectly normal that there may be differences in color, shape and size.

But because we do want to communicate clearly to you what to expect with a product, we have specifications for each plant that will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

It is therefore rare that you will receive the exact plant shown in the picture. If this is the case, it will be explicitly mentioned in the product description. Our goal is to ensure that you have a pleasant, green shopping experience and that you can shop with us worry-free.

For people who like to browse among the plants, we have a physical store. Check the contact page for opening hours and more info.

Description

The Dragon Fruit cactus is a standout in the home. Not only because of its exotic appearance, but especially because of the unique fruits it can produce under the right conditions. This cactus is loved by both plant lovers and people interested in unusual, edible crops.

Origin

The Dragon Fruit cactus, also known as pitaya or pitahaya, is native to Central and South America. In its natural habitat, it grows as a climbing cactus that attaches to trees or rocks. It is now cultivated worldwide, both for its decorative value and for its striking fruits.

Characteristics

This cactus belongs to the genus Hylocereus and has several species and hybrids, each with its own fruit color. The skin ranges from bright pink to yellow, while the flesh is white (Hylocereus undatus), red (Hylocereus costaricensis) or pink (Hylocereus megalanthus) can be. The fruits are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber, but are low in fat and calories. Another special characteristic is the flower: large, fragrant and only at night Blooming - a rare spectacle that often lasts only one night.

Care

The Dragon Fruit cactus is relatively easy to care for. It likes plenty of light, preferably direct sunlight, and needs well-drained soil. In summer the soil may remain slightly moist, but in winter sparing watering is sufficient. With proper care, the plant can flower and even form fruit after a few years, especially with adequate light and warmth. A climbing support or rack is recommended, as this cactus naturally meanders upward.
