Your Russian Dragon Fruit looks to be growing about the same as mine was a few months after planting. I have tried to see it through your eyes imagining trying to grow green peas (Pisum sativum) during our Florida summer with temperature of 35C and near 100% humidity. I would have to seal up my shade house, install air conditioning to bring down the temperature and humidity, and make sure none of that ever failed all summer long. Even one day of failure would be the end of my pea-growing. Good luck to you.

I measured the growth rate of the dragonfruit for three days, and the result satisfied me. Is it a good growth or should it be faster?
I am interested in the question of how often should I water the dragon fruit if I have a constant humidity in the greenhouse of 80%?
And soon my blooming passionflower!

Hi guys. I measured the growth rate of the dragon fruit, the mark is June 12 and today, June 18, it looks like this. Is it a good height or should it be bigger?

Здравствуйте Сергей,

Главное проблема в России не лето а зима. Мороз будет убивать ваши питаи. Сколько градусов у вас зимой?

Успеха вам.

Хосе.

Hi, yes, of course, in winter it is very cold here. I'm going to move the dragon fruit for the winter in a warm room, where the temperature is +22 C

Then you shouldn't have problems. I saw in the video that they were planted in the ground, that's why I told you about winter. When I get new cvs I place them indoors during winter and they keep growing fine, I just reduce watering frequency. How do you plan to manage the plants in long term? Climatized greenhouse?

Yes, that's right, I'm going to set a greenhouse with climate control.

Duuude!!! Now that really is awesome and inspirational 👏  Growing tropicals in Russia!?! That’s something special because everything looks really healthy especially those blooming passion fruit!
I grow some dragon fruit but don’t have to much knowledge about them yet. So I can’t really comment on your question about watering. Yours seem to be doing well, are you trying to have it grow even faster? Maybe foliar feeding would be better idea??

Pineislander- You’re not the only one!! I’m going to give peas another try hopefully in the fall!! (Summer seems implausible with the heat index feeling hotter than •105+F 🥵

Guys, I have two flowering bushes Naranjilla. Does this plant require cross-pollination or is it self-pollinated?
