Pitaya is a type of cactus of the genus Hylocereus and Selenicereus which many come from Mexico. But today Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, China, Philippines and Vietnam also cultivate it. The Europeans make it as one of the unique ornamental plants, while the Chinese people consider it a fruit full of blessing. In Indonesia itself, looking for dragon fruit is not too difficult. However, if you want to taste the sweetness of dragon fruit, choose dragon fruit with red meat.
This plant flower is also quite unique, similar to wijayakusuma flowers, but more fragrant. The flower blooms in full at midnight, and then slowly fades and does not bloom again. Flowers that do not fall is what will become a dragon fruit.
