My only flower bloomed Sept 23 & gave me a fruit. I think it's ready to pick... it has a small split on it.

Re: Dragon Fruit

Ante, glad they are growing for you. When mine grow 'skinny' like that (usually in winter) it's because of not enough sun.

Re: Dragon Fruit

Ante, try a richer potting soil. They like sun. They also like high K fert - like banana fertilizer. I use miracle grow potting soil & lots of perlite.

Re: Dragon Fruit

Got my DF outside today. The trellis just barely fits thru the doorway. If it grows this summer as much as last, I will have to cut parts off to get it back in sunroom. I'm hoping it will fruit...
