Description
Hylocereus undatus, commonly known as Dragon Fruit White or White Pitaya, is an exotic climbing cactus valued for its striking fruit with white flesh and refreshing, mildly sweet flavor. Its thick, fleshy green stems grow vigorously with support, while its large, fragrant white flowers bloom at night, adding dramatic ornamental value. The fruit is widely appreciated for fresh consumption and its hydrating properties. Well suited to Cyprus’ warm climate, it thrives in sunny, sheltered locations and tolerates heat and dry conditions once established. It prefers well-drained soil and moderate watering, especially during growth and fruiting periods. Ideal for gardens, trellises, and large containers.
