American Beauty Dragon Fruit

Hylocereus guatemalensis 'American Beauty'
American Beauty Dragon Fruit plants produce fruit with colorful red-pink flesh that taste earthy and delicious. The exterior of the cactus fruit is dark pink with light green accents. As the plant is a vining cactus, they are extremely low-maintenance. This variety of Dragon Fruit is self-pollinating as well! At maturity, this cactus can reach 5-10 feet tall and 10 feet wide. It can also be planted in a container to maintain a smaller size.
  • Full to partial sun
  • Water when needed
  • USDA Zone: 9-11
Care
As a cactus, American Beauty Dragon Fruit require well-draining soil. Also as a cactus, these plants do not require much water. Only water your dragon fruit when the soil is dry. We recommend planting your dragon fruit in a cactus potting mix when it is time to replant in a larger pot or the ground. Dragon fruit plants need plenty of sunlight. Place your Dragon Fruit in a place that will receive bright sunlight all day long. Avoid placing your young dragon fruit plant in the direct sunlight right away as it can burn. Acclimate your new plant to the sun before leaving it in full sun permanently. 
Houseplant Information
Dragon fruit can be grown indoors as well! Dragon Fruit is a cactus, meaning that they appreciate well-draining soil and do not appreciate sitting in water for extended periods of time. Find a place for your dragon fruit that has bright indirect light.
