Dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus)

Dragon fruit, or Hylocereus undatus, is a tropical cactus fruit native to Central and South America. It is also known as pitaya or strawberry pear. Dragon fruit is shaped like a teardrop, and ranges in color from bright pink to yellow. It has a thin, leathery skin filled with edible white or red flesh. The flesh of dragon fruit has a mild flavor, and is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Dragon fruit is often eaten fresh, or used to make juices, jams, and jellies. Its seeds are edible, but crunchy. Dragon fruit is a great source of dietary fiber, and can help support digestive health.

Dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus) grows best in temperatures ranging from 68-86°F (20-30°C). It requires plenty of sunshine and protection from cold temperatures, as temperatures below 55°F (13°C) can cause damage to the plant. It is important to keep the temperature consistent and not to let it dip below 55°F (13°C) at night. Too high of temperatures can also cause damage to the plant, so it is best to keep the temperature in the optimal range.
