Giant Vietnamese Jaina White is a wonderful mid-high yield, self pollinating variety, large in size weighing on average 1.0 – 1.5 lbs. Easily adapted to a variety of growing conditions and soils, this beautiful night blooming cactus produces fruit best when allowed to climb on a burlap wrapped totem, trellis or your favorite tree. The huge 10-16 inch round flowers are highly fragrant and beautiful in form, usually lasting just one night. Planted in multiples, a mature stand of this trailing Dragon Fruit cactus in full bloom is an unforgettable sight!
Dragon Fruit Cactus will continue to grow indefinitely if the roots can attach themselves to moist organic matter, wooden post or burlap wrapped totem. The growth rate, flowering, and fruit production of Giant Vietnamese Jaina White will vary greatly depending on soil type, humidity, sunlight, temperature and other factors. A few stems may be trimmed prior to shipping to reduce transpiration and travel stress.
