Hylocereus undatus - Macho Milano
Hylocereus undatus is a unique climbing cactus often grown for its unusual triangular stems and exotic appearance. Although it resembles a spiny cactus, the plant is relatively touch-friendly, making it a popular and approachable choice for indoor collections. As it grows, it produces numerous climbing stems that develop aerial roots, allowing it to scramble and attach to supports.
Given space and strong light, this fascinating plant can mature into an impressive specimen and may eventually produce edible pitaya, or dragon fruit. Ideal for bright rooms, sunny conservatories, or greenhouses, it thrives when allowed to climb or trail from elevated containers.
- Other names: Pitaya 'Macho Milano', Dragon Fruit Cactus
- Useful to know: Pet safe, but spiny - handle with care
- Eventual height: Climbs up to 3-5m with support
- Origins: Central America, Thailand
