Drakenfruit 'Magenta'

It’s a striking plant even before it fruits, and the climbing habit makes it a real conversation piece on my trellis. Already seeing new growth on the cutting, and the magenta fruit shape alone was worth the buy for a hot-climate garden.

Planted this cutting in a large pot by our south-facing wall, and it's already throwing out new growth after just two weeks. The stem segments are firm and a healthy deep magenta — exactly what I was hoping for.

The cutting arrived with healthy roots already forming, and it’s already putting out new growth on my sunny balcony. I love that it’s a true climbing epiphytic cactus—it’s been easy to train up a trellis, and the deep magenta fruit it’s starting to set is exactly as exotic as promised.
