The Dragon Fruit Cactus Flowers - Gardening and Hobby 77

In case you didn't know, Dragon Fruits are actually Cacti that come from tropical rainforests. They have beautiful flowers.

Fig 01 - Flower of Dragon Fruit Cactus.

Tropical rainforests meaning:

- they need regular water

- we must protect them from freezing temperature.

The blooms are very large almost 12 inches (30.5 cm) across and about 9 inches (22.90 cm) long.

This cultivar is rated to be self-fertile, meaning the Dragon Fruit Cactus can produce fruit with its own pollen. 

The fruit that is red outside and white inside.

The plants are thorny, so we will need gloves if we would like to cut or prune them.
