White Dragon Fruit Plant Description
The White Dragon Fruit plant (Hylocereus undatus), also known as pitaya or white-fleshed pitahaya, is a tropical, climbing cactus species prized for its striking fruit and ornamental appeal. Native to Central America, it is now widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world.

Key Characteristics:
Growth Habit:

A fast-growing, vining cactus that uses aerial roots to climb trellises, trees, or other structures.

Stems are triangular (three-angled) in cross-section, with wavy, fleshy margins and small spines along the edges.

Can grow up to 4–6 meters (13–20 feet) or more when supported.

Leaves:

True leaves are absent (as in most cacti). What appear to be leaves are actually flattened, green stem segments that perform photosynthesis.

Flowers:

Produces large, fragrant, night-blooming flowers up to 25–30 cm (10–12 inches) long.

Flowers are white, with numerous petals and a trumpet shape.

Pollinated by bats, moths, or hand-pollination in cultivation.

Fruit:

The fruit is oval to oblong, typically 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) long.

Bright pink to red skin with green, scale-like bracts.

The flesh is white, speckled with numerous tiny, edible black seeds.

Flavor is mildly sweet and refreshing, somewhat like a cross between kiwi and melon.

Roots:

Shallow root system with aerial roots that help the plant climb and attach to surfaces.

Growing Conditions:
Climate: Thrives in tropical and subtropical climates; sensitive to frost.

Soil: Prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soils with good organic matter.

Sunlight: Requires full sun to partial shade.

Watering: Moderate water needs; drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering during flowering and fruiting. Avoid overwatering.

Culinary:

Eaten fresh, in smoothies, fruit salads, or juices.

Also used in desserts, or as a garnish due to its exotic appearance.

Nutritional:

Rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, and hydrating water content.

Ornamental:

Grown for its striking appearance, night-blooming flowers, and exotic fruits.
