Re: Dragon Fruit

All of mine have rooted so far except for my yellow dragon fruit. I hope that one survives because it's one of the cuttings I want to keep!

Re: Dragon Fruit

Would I want to cut off the flower bud since it's on a cutting? I'm not sure if the cutting would be able to support a flower, and it's still in the process of rooting.

Re: Dragon Fruit

I will probably be keeping four of them (Physical Graffiti, H. guatemalensis/American Beauty, H. megalanthus, and H. ocamponis). I might be able to train them to climb up an overhang in our backyard...

Re: Dragon Fruit

I'll place them into shade then. Right now they receive partial sun for most of the day and full sun for maybe 2 hours.
