Review: Love my little guy - I’m obsessed with this little yellow dragon fruit plant! It arrived in perfect condition — no bruising, no softness, no damage at all. The stem is thick, firm, bright green, and you can tell immediately that it’s a healthy cutting with tons of potential. It’s already showing that classic dragon fruit vigor, with a strong central stem and zero signs of stress from shipping. As soon as I unpacked it, it looked happy and ready to settle in. I gave it some bright light and it perked up even more within hours. For anyone wanting to start a dragon fruit collection, this yellow variety is such a gem — sweet fruit, beautiful growth, and this seller sends really high-quality plants. I can’t wait to watch it climb and eventually fruit! I would definitely buy again. 🌵💛
Review: Arrived as expected. - This cactus arrived well packaged and healthy. After having for about 3 weeks, it does appear to have settled in after being transplanted to a larger pot and is slowly growing. I do not have a grow light, so I have been letting it sit next to a large window for sunlight. Although it is a bit small, it’s a good size for a house plant. Edit: after about 10 months my cactus is around 2-3 feet long and growing well. I love this little house plant. It’s interesting to look at. I only water it about once a week or so. It’s really low maintenance on that front. I’d definitely recommend this to others.

## Features

- VIBRANT & UNIQUE: Introducing the Yellow Dragon Fruit Cactus (Selenicereus megalanthus), a rare and vibrant addition to your garden. Its bright yellow skin hides the treasure of white flesh and tiny black seeds, offering a distinct flavor akin to kiwi fruit, perfect for salads and smoothies.
- PERFECTLY COMPACT: A baby Yellow Dragon Fruit plant will arrive at your home measuring 3-8 inches tall in a 3-inch-deep pot (4.90 fl oz/145.0 mL). Then, raise your new baby to maturity under your caring, green thumb. This shipping-friendly size ensures a healthy start for your new plant.
- THRIVES IN WARMTH & SUNLIGHT: Native to Central and South America, this subtropical beauty loves warm, humid climates and craves at least six hours of sunlight daily. It will thrive outdoors in USDA Zones 10-11, but adapts seamlessly to warm and sunny indoor spaces of any zone.
- CLIMBING ELEGANCE: With the right conditions, the Yellow Dragon Fruit Cactus grows tall and develops graceful aerial roots. Provide a stake for it to climb to enhance its allure. If grown outside with rich, well-drained soil, it can reach an average mature height of 15-20 feet.
- DELIGHTFUL HARVEST: As this cactus flowers, anticipate a delectable harvest in around four weeks. Ripe when the skin turns a vibrant yellow, use sharp secateurs to cut the fruit, storing it in the fridge for up to two weeks of pure delight.
