Plant Characteristics:
Dragon Fruit Red is a fast-growing cactus with long, fleshy green stems that climb and branch out. The fruit is oval-shaped, with red skin and green scales, weighing between 300–600 grams. Inside, the flesh is bright red, juicy, and filled with tiny black seeds. The plant can grow up to 2–3 meters with proper support.
