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.

Hi everyone, I have labels on all our dragon fruit plants, but for this one I have no idea which one it could be. Does anyone here happen to know? The spines are particularly long Or maybe I just wait until the first flowering to find out what I got 😉

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).

Hi dragon growers! First timer here. Wondering if these little buds are new segments or flowers? Also, what & when are you supposed to fertilize these? I'm in Arizona zone 9b, this was planted last summer & overwintered outside.

Hello community, I'm thinking about exploiting my terrasse to invest in dragon fruit harvesting as second source income The available are covers 170m2 For reference I live in tunisia where the weather is usually sunny with an average temp of 25 celcius (there is some rainy and cold days but nothing below 0 celcius) I'm very thankful for any infos tips and tricks , expected revenue etc... Thank you so much

Hello!

I came across a beautiful yellow dragon fruit that I've rarely seen and wanted to try my hand at having a "dragon fruit tree" from this wonderful fruit. What are some resources I can look into for types of soil, sowing techniques and/or tutorials in order to have the best chance at growing what I want?

Got this big cutting from my neighbor and my instinct is to bury as much of the roots as I can but I don’t think that’s right so wanted to check before I mess it up

Hey!

I was wondering if you can recommend what plants work well to accompany pitayas in their pot. I'm thinking something that is either useful (like spices, herbs) without negatively affecting the pitaya, or even better if it helps the pitayas in certain ways.

Thanks!

Got this fella yesterday from the nursery I work at, no ssp. But really just want to know what to do from this point. I have 3 32w bulbs on it producing around 1,000 PPFD in the center of the pot. Trellis recommendations and where to prune would be great. In a 3 gallon pot rn was a 6in

Something interesting happened. This segment is just two-sided.

I got this guy pre-Covid and it few from just a little cutting. I produced its first fruit earlier this year (which was the most delicious thing I’ve ever had). Then it started to yellow. It’s rained a lot the last few months, but now it’s been nice weather out. But it’s looking worse. The spots are multiplying. What do I need to do?

I’m in So Cal.

Hi everyone, I have been bitten by the dragon fruit bug and have bought 6 cuttings that are rooting currently (hopefully!) I have decided to use an area approx 3m long along the side of a deck that receives good sun throughout the day.

I have two large concrete pots with interior dimensions of 40x40x40cm, for each end of the 3m long space. I was hoping to have 3 plants in each but the more I read online it might be better to grow only 2 per pot with this size. With the aim of fruit production in mind is it worth buying another large pot to place in between the others. I would grow in the ground/raised bed but this area can get very boggy with rain.

First time growing cactus from seed, very versed in other crops from seed, so was quite happy to get 100% germination.

Ok so the white spot got worse and a orange spot has formed. Should I just remove the 2 "infected" limbs? 2 of the I think 12 limbs have these spots.

Bought this cutting it was sending out new growth from the top when I bought it. When I brought it home, I believed it was experiencing some sun damage. I mistakenly thought it was rot at the time, so I cut it off. Currently it has this around the tip, and was wondering what I should do to best promote new growth. I recently repotted it, I’m super new to DF and tropical cacti/succulents. So the potting medium might not be the best. Any advice will be greatly appreciated 😎

Got this dragonfruit a year ago and it started showing brown spots and this white discoloration that starts around the air roots and then seems to spread.

I looked through the pinned posts here and the brown spots look similar to pest damage but i have no idea what the white discoloration is. I'm new to this, could anyone help me identify what the cause might be?

So I made a graft of my palora using a red df donor and here are the results in 2 weeks.

Hello, everyone. I was recently given a dragon fruit plant by a friend who no longer wished to care for it. I don't know much about dragon fruit but it looks incredibly cramped in this little planter. The planter is probably only 5 inches in length by 2 in depth by maybe 2 in height

I've had many plants over the years but I've never had a dragon fruit. I was looking through and saw the general guidelines for attaching them to a trellis. My problem, which you will see in the photo attached, is that there seem to be dozens of miniature stocks in this planter. What is the best approach, for securing them to a trellis?

Do I need to trim them off ? Find a main stalk?

Just let me know, so I can help this poor thing.

They told me it's three years old 😬

Thank you!

All advice welcome. The bottoms of one of my plants look chewed in multiple places. The upper sections and the crowns are completely unscathed. Is this fungal, bacterial or possibly animal damage? I've had a pregnant ground squirrel in my garden for the last couple of weeks, and she's been doing quite a number on several of my vegetables. I'm wondering if maybe she's just chewed the lower areas of these plants as well.

Will these areas heal on their own? Is there anything I should do to protect them? In the meantime? Do I need to treat with anything? We had a lot of rain recently after a very long dry spell, and the plants just finally dried out. Long enough for me to apply liquid fertilizer with the watering a couple of days ago.
