My cutting is getting bigger by the day and roots are growing everywhere...

One cool plant...thanks Bob!

: )

Hey, don't forget me!

....I'm the one that sent that Rogers cutting to Bob LOL Looks like it's really taking off since it starting growing. Nice window view BTW! Is that a Christmas cactus to the right? Mine are late in bloomingf but are doing good now.
How do you keep your plants looking so healthy during winter?

Patty in Wisc · 12-28-2010, 12:50 PM

My one DF is taking its time to ripen. Not growing bigger but still green. It must be cuz it's too cool in sunroom.

Yup, Patty you did give it to Bob initially so thank you for passing it on!

That's a Thanksgiving cactus to the right of the dragon fruit...very similar to a Christmas cactus.

Thanks about my living room view, by the way.

I have tons of light here Patty and attribute this mostly to my success. Plus I feed my plants all throughout Winter and keep them showered regularily too...

I just downright spoil them, if you want to know the truth!

The Hollyberry Lady · 12-29-2010, 05:31 PM

Here too are 3 different kinds Janan shared with me recently...

Jananas Bananas · 12-29-2010, 05:49 PM

They look really good Sherry! Those are definitely going to make it. YAY!

The Hollyberry Lady · 12-29-2010, 07:42 PM

Thanks Janan!

I think I might keep adding more pieces to the pot as they grow, to fill it up and make it more full looking.

I think these ones will make it too. The fat one in the middle is labelled as "purple" and the medium skinny one is called "pink" and the skinniest one of all in my pot is called "american beauty"!!!

Thanks for all of them, Janan!

Patty in Wisc · 01-02-2011, 03:44 PM

My one fruit is now almost all pink. Ever since Janan asked about it, it started ripening. I'll post a pic when it's ready to pick & eat...no time now.

The Hollyberry Lady · 01-02-2011, 04:20 PM

Very cool, Patty!

Janan has brought you good luck!

I snapped off that new arm growing on the Roger Meyer cutting...

...and I'm rooting it elsewhere to grow into another plant for someone else.

This is a neighbors Dragon fruit. It is growing up a tree. She also has a 15' or so Papaya with Dragon Fruit climbing on it.

I am not sure if there self pollinating or not.I'll have to go check it out see if there's any fruit growing up high on the papaya oe.

Tony, how do you know when to pick your DF? Someone told me when the skin looks like stretch marks LOL. It's been a nice pink color for almost 3 weeks & the tips are still green ... like the pics of yours. Since I only have one, I want to pick just right. I'm having a problem getting pics on from my cam. Thanks

Jananas Bananas · 01-20-2011, 02:50 PM

Patty is this the "Roger Meyer" Sherry and Bob talk about? Is the name Roger Meyer or the plant came from Roger Meyer (plant guru)? I am anxiously awaiting the taste report on it since I have only eaten those from the Asian Market.
