Hylocereus costaricensis, commonly known as Dragon Fruit Red or Red Pitaya, is an exotic climbing cactus valued for its striking red-fleshed fruit and ornamental appearance. Its thick, fleshy green stems grow vigorously with support, while its large, fragrant white flowers open at night, adding dramatic beauty to gardens. The fruit is highly prized for its sweet taste, refreshing texture, and rich color. Well suited to Cyprus’ warm climate, it thrives in sunny, sheltered locations and tolerates heat and dry conditions once established. It prefers well-drained soil and moderate watering, especially during active growth and fruiting. Ideal for gardens, trellises, and large containers.
