Selenicereus undatus — climbing dragon fruit cactus with long green stems

Selenicereus undatus is the dragon fruit cactus behind the white-fleshed pitaya, grown indoors for its long, jointed green stems and climbing, trailing habit. It is a tropical epiphytic cactus with water-storing stems, aerial roots and a strong need for sharp drainage around the root zone.

The stems can sprawl, hang or climb with aerial roots, forming a loose green framework as the plant matures. In bright, warm conditions, mature plants can produce large white night flowers; fruiting needs successful pollination, maturity and enough light, so it is an occasional indoor result.

Selenicereus undatus stem structure and fruiting notes

  • Plant type: Tropical epiphytic cactus with long vining stems.
  • Family: Cactaceae.
  • Native range: Mexico to Honduras, mainly in seasonally dry tropical habitats.
  • Stem shape: Green, three-angled stems with wavy margins and small areoles along the ribs.
  • Growth habit: Trailing, sprawling or climbing with aerial roots along the stems.
  • Flowers: Large white flowers open at night on mature plants in suitable conditions.
  • Fruit: Pink-skinned dragon fruit can develop after successful pollination.

Pot setup for Selenicereus undatus

Selenicereus undatus grows from elongated, water-storing stems that extend outward, downward or upward when given support. A hanging pot lets the stems drop naturally, while a sturdy pole or trellis gives aerial roots a surface to grip as the plant climbs.

The roots need an airy mix that dries well between waterings. A chunky cactus mix with mineral material gives the root zone oxygen and reduces the risk of wet stem bases.

Selenicereus undatus care indoors

  • Light: Give very bright filtered light; harsh midday sun behind glass can mark or dehydrate the stems.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly, then let the mix dry well before watering again.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually fine when airflow and drainage are good.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and away from cold windowsills; cold wet substrate can damage roots and stem bases.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky cactus or epiphyte mix with pumice, lava, perlite or coarse bark.
  • Pot choice: Choose a pot with drainage holes and enough weight to balance long stems or a support.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a diluted cactus or balanced houseplant fertilizer.
  • Mineral growing: A mineral-heavy mix can suit this cactus, but a constantly wet reservoir keeps the root zone too damp.
  • Pruning: Trim long stems at a joint to control length or propagate healthy sections.

Common issues with Selenicereus undatus

  • Soft stem bases: Usually point to wet substrate, poor drainage or cold roots.
  • Shrivelled stems: Can follow long dry periods, root damage or very hot direct sun.
  • Brown patches: Sudden direct sun through glass can scorch green stem tissue.
  • Weak stretched growth: Low light produces thinner, less sturdy stems.
  • Scale insects: Check along ribs and areoles, where pests can sit tightly against the stem.

Safety for Selenicereus undatus

Selenicereus undatus is generally classed as non-toxic to cats and dogs. The stems still have small areoles and occasional spines, so handle cuttings and long stems with care.

Botanical background for Selenicereus undatus

The accepted botanical name is Selenicereus undatus; Hylocereus undatus is an older synonym. Selenicereus refers to Selene, the moon, in reference to night-flowering cacti, while undatus means wavy and matches the scalloped stem margins.

In bright warmth, Selenicereus undatus develops long green cactus stems that trail, climb and mature gradually.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.
