Rob, can you share a little more on challenges of growing the giant yellow? I am grafting seedings onto other DF vines and would love to hear more about it.
Rannman, is there a more common name of G2? Not sure if it’s available in the states.
Thanks.Quote
G-2 is the only name I know it by, sorry. Don’t even remember where I purchased the cutting unfortunately.
I started them in Plastic Cups. hahahaha, some I moved on to bigger Plastic Bottles
I plan to move the hardiest one to a 10 Gallon Planter....
These are all indoors
I have some outside too btw, Most dead, or not fairing very well at all. Something like a bird or maybe a squirrel is eating the leaves. hahahahaha
They can not handle the Summer Heat (couple days over 115, summer avg 96) nor the Winter Cold(avg night in 40-50, but we get some at 30)... The hopes is that once I have a bigger one I can try outside. Am also hoping I can grow one to 3-5 feet in the house., I been using the Sink water (thus treated via softener), my water in Garden by passes Softener. Should I try that water? Won't the hard water be just as bad?
Where the hell do I get "reverse osmosis water"? lol
What about Bottle Water? Will look for some cheap bottle water:(
Do I seem lost? I AM!!!!
Thanks

Are you sure about temperature ??Not sure who you are asking, but yes, I am sure about the temps. I’ve got a thermometer👍
I was just trying to check as much information on the Asunta Family and learn what type i think i would like to add, heard the Asunta 2 taste lil bit like cinnamon, which i think i will get, but wanted to get info since the place i found wont have until April/May to get shipped outThere's Asunta 1 through 4. The fruit size improves with each generation. The taste is said to vary though. Non of them are bad, but some people seem to prefer the earlier ones.Thanks
Looked online and just thought so but seen it say Asunta 24

If that fruit is real, and I have my doubts, you should look for a cutting of it.

Any new updates on this thread?
Great job Rannman, can't wait to see the finished fruit! The only info I can offer beyond Ricshaw is I believe my original cuttings came from Don's Epiphyllum World.Hi Ethan. This is the second time it has flowered. Once last year and once so far this year. I am very keen to see what the fruit are like. Has yours never fruited? It’s not a fast grower and doesn’t put out a lot of growth at all. Stems are 4 sided and mostly red in colour.
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!

The small red one is a cross I made with Houghton and Yellow Colombian, it is the one that has a strawberry melon taste.I never heard of Houghton where can I get cuttings from that variety?I don’t remember if this question has been asked before but is voodoo child the same as S8 sugar dragon. On spicyexotics site he claims that research shows that they are both the same.
I think I read somewhere that they aren’t but can’t recall where I read it from.
