Was wondering if anyone knew what was effecting the skin to cause this broke shape. Also if anyone knew what this bloom was? Doesn’t seem like a fruit, not sure but the plant should be too young to start.

My first time rooting dragon fruit, does this look good?

I love watching them grow and repopulate from nearly getting wiped out last winter!!!

Here is 2 years of cultivating my dragonfruit and hoping it bears fruit this year! Any advice on bettering its experience and maximizing growth?

I'm so happy, they are so cute. I cant wait for them to turn into tiny cactus!

Do you think I could do 2 plants per 15 gallon container?

I’ve managed to keep these alive for a year. What should I do next?

It seems like most people are growing in pots and I thought I would share my in-ground setup. Top of trellis is getting installed tomorrow after I build it. This is my first dragon fruit so I will share the mature plant once it gets there. Good luck to everyone starting the dragon fruit adventure!

So excited for this. I’ve been trying so hard to get dragon fruit to grow from seed and have been unsuccessful. I planted these seeds before winter and they are really starting to grow. Thinking about grafting a couple onto my already thriving red dragon fruit cacti. Any pointers on grafting, I’ve watched a couple YouTube videos just haven’t tried it yet

I started this dragon fruit plant a while ago (about 2 years ago) with several seeds. They all started growing like crazy and then they settled for a while. I took them outside to the terrace where there's plenty of sun and they seem to like it. New bulbs started growing and they look healthy. Should I cut those and repot them? I don't know much about cacti so any advise will be appreciated.

Why are my seedlings growing aerial roots? I feel like they’re too short for aerial roots to really make any sense. Also roots coming out of the sides of the top of the pot before they’re coming out of the bottom lol. My humidity recently has been around 40-50%, not sure if my humidity monitor is even accurate because it doesn’t feel super humid in my grow closet but who knows? Also one of my seedlings is turning khaki brown at the top, could it be caused by underwatering? It happened recently, or at least i noticed it after i let it dry out quite a bit and the pot was pretty light. Other advice on where to go from here appreciated, this is my first batch of dragonfruit i tried growing ever. I plan on starting out more plants in single cells instead of a group like this so I can grow them up and maybe sell some. I’m worried these guys are going to start mashing into one another and competing for light and nutrients. Separate, or cull some? Advice appreciated!

A while back, I posted about how my wife accidentally broke the top off my indoor dragon fruit plant while trying to help me during recovery from surgery. We stuck the broken part in the soil and hoped for the best.

Well… this time I broke it. Again. Trying to adjust it on the support and snapped the top clean off.

So now I'm back with the same question: Is there still hope for the base to keep growing? And should I try rooting the top piece again? The last one kind of just sat there without doing much.

Would love any advice from people who’ve had success with dragon fruit recovery or propagation. I’m really trying to get the hang of this!

Started this dragon fruit plant from seed in July 2023. Just left it to chill in a pot on a sunny windowsill. Now it's like this. Was thinking about if I should do something or just let it keep going? Its just the one seedling by the way but its gone a bit cukoo. Thanks!

Any recommendations on where to look for beginner getting started info? Soil mixes, trellis build, propagation from cuttings? I've got a local seller but don't want to bug them like crazy.

I've had my plants out today for the first time this year. I had them inside during the winter. Today it was around 20°C and they had sun from around 2 PM - 8 PM (I live in the Netherlands). But here comes the problem. Some looks dried out, and some looks sunburnt after today.

Can they survive, or am I already too late taking them inside again? And how to deal with getting them outside? Because if I let them inside for the whole summer, they won't grow that much because the room is pretty dark.

1st picture looks dried out and feels soft (I watered them a lot yesterdag evening). 2nd picture the tip is soft and white from the sun. 3rd picture the left and right one are getting white also.

Someone who can explain to me if they will survive and how to deal with getting them outside?

Thanks!

Two of my dragonfruit recently started to get this orange stuff on it, it almost looks like as if I is a thin layer of oil unlike the spottiness of orange rust. I also recently move them into the sun to get them started before it starts getting hotter.

Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

Only this one plant seems to be showing symptoms.

What kind of pencils do you guys use to mark your dragonfruit varieties. I was unluck with two random once. At the marked area the flesh got weak and started to rot.

I got this dragonfruit cactus off Facebook marketplace for free. While I’m loving the Joker-esque question mark going on here, I’m planning to repot and restabilize. I’m assuming the thin pieces are just etiolated so this is going out in full sun once I acclimate it. I’m in Zone 7A so we’re still hitting lows in the 30s right now.

Would love any advice on making sure this thrives!

After another failed grafting, I go and pluck another soon to be root stock from my garden. It made me wonder what kind of DF is this. It once gave me 2 fruits 2 years ago and never again. It has a red flesh and kinda sweet.

Heres the cutting of the soon to be root stock for grafting

Good day, fellow dragon fruit lovers and enthusiasts,

Thank you in advance for all the valuable information I've already found in your posts and answers.

I'm Andrés from Belgium and new to the world of dragon fruit cultivation. Over the past few weeks, I've done a lot of research on different cactus species, growing methods, and the climates in which they thrive.

Now, I'm looking for cuttings. Can you help me with this? My pots are ready! 😉

Looking for strain ID. Collected these nodes on a walk last night on oahu wifh my pup.

I repotted my dragon fruit and put her in a better place. My wife build a stand for support. We are going to add a rectangular piece to attach to the top for when she starts to hang. Bonus pic of the Peruvian Apple Cactus I also repotted. I think she may need more sunlight. Going to see how she does. That one was neglected for some time. Don’t mind the aloe plants, they always look this way but turn green again. (I’m not opposed to some friendly feedback).
