Wow, Tony, looks like a strong bud for a cutting that hasn't put on any visible growth yet. You must at least have some good roots going. My flower bud dropped off when I planted it in the ground. :(

I haven't checked for roots .I'll leave it in the 1gal. pot until I harvest the fruit. I hope.This one is self fertile ?

Yes, Jack that you/we got it from only had this one variety growing and he described it as self-fertile. I don't know if he assisted in pollination or not, but that would be affected by what wildlife might be present to help out.

Missed the chance to hand pollinate that one. I'll have to keep a closer eye on them

I've got a total of about 10 buds so far on 3 plants. Hope they all set fruit and hope I get even more flowers!

Re: Dragon Fruit
 
Which varieties ?

8-S, Physical Graffiti, and Condor :)

I'm hoping to maybe get flowers on a couple of others as well.

You must be irrigating a lot? It's been so dry here that nothing seems to be growing.

Some of my Dragon Fruit plants have the fungus or whatever it is. You know it's the brown spot kind of thing. Any ideals guys? I'm kind of rethinking attempting to grow this stuff here.:bananas_b

Dean I water twice a week. I think Richard suggested Copper Sulfate for the fungus.

Just noticed today that I have a blossom started. Was getting ready to give up as a lot of plant has turned orange/rust colored. Thanks Sunfish for the reminder to give it copper sulfate - which I have. I'll have to climb up on a stepstoole to figure out if it's red Jaina or yellow. Woohoo
I remember reading that they seem to bloom on full moon evenings. Last yr the flower bloomed on full moon. The next full moon is the 13th & I won't be here to pollinate... I'll have to get a neighbor over to do it.
