I used to spray NPK 19-19-19 in both the Growth and fruiting stages. But now I am using NPK 28:13:13 in growing stage and NPK 10:26:26 in fruiting stage. Is it okay? Can you suggest me how frequently should I Fertilize my grown plants?

The new growth on my cuttings have grown very thin as they weren’t getting enough sun. If I put these on full sun, will they plump up? Or would I be better to trim these and start again?

Can someone please tell me what's wrong with this dragon fruit plant?

Hi! I am a new in dragon fruit. I know dragon fruit plants need pruning. But as I am a new at this I am always hesitant to prune some branches. But now I can see some rotting in those sub-braches. Can someone please guide me what should I do? Should I prune sub branches? Or should I let it be?

Can someone please tell me what's wrong with my baby dragon fruit plants? Is it a disease or effect of too much heat? (I live in India and now heat waves are flowing)

Hi all! I was given a dragon fruit plant and I wasn’t sure how to maintain it to encourage fruiting. I did research awhile back for potting to allow plenty of drainage and aeration. But now I’m pretty clueless when it comes to what to prune or cut off from the branches.

I saw the pinned post and it said i should leave 2-3 sub branches per branch

Should i cut off these new shoots, leaving 2-3? Or just the big ones? Thanks

Hello!

I just started my dragon fruit journey a few weeks ago -- I've got my trellises built and cuttings planted. I was looking into the names of the self-pollinating varieties, and found that they're named after songs by all of my favorite musicians!!!

• American Beauty - Grateful Dead
• Dark star - Grateful Dead
• Halley’s Comet - Phish (also an actual comet, I know)
• Makisupa - Phish
• Natural Mystic - Bob Marley
• Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
• Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix

Now, I may be a bit jaded after spending some time at the Sphere in Vegas a few weeks back for the Phish shows, but this is way too many to be a coincidence -- how cool! I clearly picked the right plant!

Related -- is there any way to tell the variety / whether or not it is self-pollinating just from the plant itself without any flowers / fruit / buds? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I thought of a second question! I live in Phoenix, AZ, USA, where it can reach 120F regularly in the summers with multiple 115F+ days in a row not being uncommon; and it often stays well-above 90F for weeks at a time (...even at sunrise!). I have my plants under 40% coverage shade cloth for the majority of the midday hours -- will my guys survive the summer outside??

It was perfectly healthy 3 days ago. Went out of town and came back to this. Yellowing and starting to mush. The area is about 2 feet long and on the center stem.

Soon we will have a crap-ton of cicadas from 2 broods in the midwest and I just took my dragons outside and wonder if they will be an issue?

What fertilizer do you like to use after you plant rooted cuttings? I would like to focus on getting more height

Just noticed one of the dragon fruit spines is white (see photo). What could have caused this? Should I remove? Thank you for any help here!

I bought a yellow dragonfruit and I don’t find it awful unlike our pink dragonfruit we bought. It definitely is better cold oddly! My current plan is to put 20 or so seeds in small cups, and then plant the ones that actually germinate. I will obviously drain the cups. What type of soil should I use? I might just dig some up from my yard. How many seeds should I expect ti germinate? The fruit was grown in my country if it helps.

Any advice is appreciated!

Hello all,

First year new to DF.

I have Delight Variety growing well x 4. One of my new cuttings growth looks formed. The wavy pattern is missing, and the triangular shape of the stem isn’t uniform it’s folding in on itself.

What’s your take? Internet says water issues, but I don’t think so.

Looks like an insect, but I’ve never seen bugs on it other than some sugar ants.

Hey everyone. Recently I acquired 3 cuttings, 2 of them had aerial roots near the base. Now my question is for those roots which are buried now should I moisten the soil or keep it dry until new roots start forming?

Got a trellis since it was getting tall. Ties the cactus to start growing straight up. Any thoughts or tips?
