Fast growing, perennial, vine-like cacti with stem sections that form aerial roots which adhere to the surface upon which they grow or climb. The stem may reach about 6.1 m long.  Hylocereus species have no true leaves, photosynthesis occurs in the green stems. Hylocereus blooms only at night.  The strongly perfumed flowers are approx. 22-30 cm long and funnel shaped.

The fruit has red skin and the flesh is white.  The seeds are small, black, and embedded throughout the flesh. The texture of the fruit is similar to kiwifruit because of its black, crunchy seeds. The flesh is mildly sweet and low in calories. Eaten raw, the fruit may also be converted into juice or wine or used to flavour other beverages. The seeds may be crushed and eaten, and are highly nutritious, but they are indigestible unless chewed.

General note: 
Do not be too hasty to discard seed that does not germinate, seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural requirements for germination to occur. Containers put to one side will often surprise long after they were discarded.
