So my son brought home a little cup with a plant given to him on his last day of school. He/we thought it was an apple tree. For about 3 years it sat on the window sill and just kind of existed. In that time it grew a couple inches. Last year I repotted it and then it started to grow into something that was not an apple tree. After a little research what we have is a dragon fruit tree. Anyone have any ideas on how to care for this beast?!

*Selenicereus undatus* is climbing plant by nature, and it prefers bright light. Even full sun. And, as it is a climber you might want to give it something to cling on to.
Best part: It’s in same genus as famous “Queen-of-the-night”, *S. grandiflorus*, that is known for its spectacular blooms. And dragon fruit flower is pretty similar! So, given enough time it might surprise you with gorgeous but short living flowers!
How did this get confused for an Apple tree?
That’s hilarious 🤣
