I followed the excellent advice from OP to make mine. DF are growing fine, except that they appear flat and a little bit wrinkly at some areas. What can I do to make them fill out more?Your DF is too young. Next summer they will be fat. If you have room, move them slowly to full sun area. DF likes a lot of suns but not over 100F, the DF branch will burn.
Thanks so much for this thread!
Hi,I am happy that my post helps you to make your own trellis. Happy garden
I know it's been almost two years since you posted the photos of your dragon fruit trellis, but I really want to THANK YOU! I have scoured the internet to get ideas on how to plant my cuttings, but everything is so complicated. I didn't want to ask my son to help me create cement posts with rebar, wooden posts with tires, etc., etc. Every idea I came across was too complicated for me to do on my own, until I happened upon the image of your dragon fruit solution. I joined this forum yesterday to access your information and directions. I'm just a person with limited space that wanted to grow some dragon fruit without a huge hassle. You have made that possible! Many thanks! ~ Merrilee :-)
Miracle: how did the plants get to the top of the tomato cage with no stake? I'm starting mine following your method, and they're only about a 2 feet tall. At this time, I only have them in the container, not tomato cage, no EMT tubes yet.Hello NewGen,
Thanks,
I have never seen a yellow Undatus with red-flesh. I wish you would post a picture.
Hello Ricshaw,
You misunderstood. I got a yellow dragon fruit seeds and I grown. After four years, my first offspring of the yellow dragon fruit seedlings gave me a fruit. The fruit was red outside and red inside.
It is not a yellow outside and red inside as you thought.
A friend of mine bought a "Yellow Dragon Fruit" cutting on eBay. After several months growing he decided that it was NOT what he thought he purchased. He gave it to me to grow. The fruit turned out to be red on the outside and red on the inside,.
Why are they naming a Dragon fruit over terrorist name? Now we got government watching this discussion......
Isis is a girl's name. My granddaughter has a school friend named Isis.I bought this yellow dragon fruit in Big Island, Hawaii. Brought some seeds back and grown for four years from seeds. All my fruits from the yellow dragon fruit seedlings are red inside and outside, not yellow outside and white inside . .lol. it is reversed to the parents. But the fruits are more sweeter than the one I got in Hawaii.
I have never seen a yellow Undatus with red-flesh. I wish you would post a picture.
And there is one currently from Australia hybrid called ISIS GOLD which is a hott item since it has been reported to have a taste like lemonade

Not sure but they are in Australia, maybe ask why they chose that name and let us know
What are you guys using as stakes inside the tomato cage?1/2" or 3/4"of 10-ft steel EMT from Home Depot, cut half 5-ft each
May be the heat in Southern California and luck... I guess 😁Miracle,Thanks, sildanani
I love your your trellis layout! So effector, yet economical! I just made one myself.
I'm going to add some supplemental lighting and heat. Prehaps a reptile heat lamp? I haven't been able to get df to flower or even grow much inside the greenhouse. I suspect it doesn't like filtered sunlight, since my greenhouse has glass that reduces uv. It grows nicely outside in direct sunlight and hot weather. I want to grow it successfully this time. I'm so sick of nasty store-bought df. I am growing "Red Zamorano" and "Purple Haze". Fingers crossed!
Thanks for posting!
Your trellis is very nice too. Good luck with your df
FYI my white df will flowers two crops per year, one in June and one in late August. Red df will flowers three crops: late March, June and late August.
Wow, it's a miracle alright. How do you get DF to fruit so many time per year?
thanks!

Why not plant directly into the stone pot?Appearance. Plastic pot will not let the water absorb to the ceramic pot. You will not see the water stain or white milddew on the pot. Your ceramic pot will last longer.

I have a 3 foot long rooted cutting from a friend here, just transplanted it fron a ploy to the arbor, I read somewhere they like less water than the other varieties.I water mine the same as other dragon fruits. FYI
Best to grow many seeds for better odds. Hopefully it tastes good. Still a win if it doesn't require manual pollination.
This is what I got from growing the yellow dragon fruit from seeds after 4 years. The fruit that I got from a yellow dragon fruit seedling is red inside and outside. Completely different fruit than the one I got seeds from a yellow dragon fruit in previous posts. Why?
Plant is self fertility. No hand pollination is needed. Plant does very well both in pot and in ground.
Why? Seeds do not produce clones of the fruit they come from. Each seed is a new hybrid.
By any chance... did you sell cuttings of your yellow Dragon Fruit grown from seeds on eBay?
Hi Miracle, thanks a lot for sharing your efficient looking design!
My brother gave me 4 cuttings from his trees 2 days ago,
so your design showing up here is just in the nick of time for me...!
