Default Re: Dragon Fruit update

I picked up a cutting of American Beauty from a friend of mine and built a small 2X4 frame in a 15 gallon pot. They I rapped it with some hemp rope for the roots. I am waiting to see how it develops and if it will flower in a small setting.
The Others I got were just labeled White, Red and Yellow. The ones I got from Pine Island flowered but never set fruit and I don't have the time or the patience to run around with a paint brush in the middle of the night trying to find another species to cross pollinate them with. Especially considering they need to be cross pollinated within 48 hours of each other.
But I do enjoy watching them flower at night and seeing what bugs and animals will visits them.
