How many months till fruit?
How many months does a Dwarf Orinoco take from pup to fruiting usually? I took 4 pups off of the mother plant, and they are growing indoors. One is about 2 feet tall right now. The mother has about 6 feet of stem and is in the greenhouse in a semi dormant state.

Re: How many months till fruit?
How long did it take to get the D. Orinoco to 6' of stem? + 6 months.. :^)
How much it fruits will hinge on strength of the plant, light, temp, and how well your feeding it.. did I miss anything? :^)

The mother plant - I'll guess 1 to 3 years. The 2' pup - I'll guess 3 to 5 years.
