While my dragonfruit stems are overwintering, I noticed one of the top cuttings got cold damage, which I managed to make a top cutting of. But then I also noticed these weird discoloured spots also has appeared? Is this only because of the humidity, or should I remove them asap? Or is it something I could remove with home remedials? since most gardening shops are closed at this time of the season 'w'

I'm not an expert, but in my experience: healthy plants can fight off diseases like that, but during winter semi-dormancy their immune system (or whatever plants have) isn't very active. Monitor it and if the infected area seems to be growing/worsening, cut those sections off.

Thanks for the advice, I'll continue monitoring them then. Good thing the warm weather should arrive in a month or 2

Been having lots of progress on both cuttings and on my seedlings, both old and new, now that I have acquired a greenhouse Sadly last year my mom ended up knocking one of my DF so it broke. Made a cutting out of the broken stem, and they have both given out new growth. I am definetly happy how my seedlings are turning out, and I will by the end of the season cut them off and root them for better rootbase.
My cuttings are American Beauty, older seedlings are from an unknown white variety, and new seedlings are from a yellowskinned variety named Golden Dragon I think

I'm guessing the weather is still good in Turkey? Over here in DK it's started to drop down the 10C* and near the frost temperatures a couple of times

Wish there were festivals like that in Denmark, but I gotta do with the white DF I can buy here at my local supermarket and my own AB dragonfruit plant. Cant wait till I can hopefully taste a fresh one

Wow, thats one pretty dragonfruit tree/setup

I've just finished building my trellis, I think it came out quiet nice.

Wow, beautiful trellis, wish you lots of luck with your dragonfruit


My dragonfruits are growing nicely :> but I'm wondering if they need more light, since it's pretty thin





I also noticed this one is 2-sided, should I remove it and keep the bottom, or let it be?

Hey guys,

My dragonfruit cuttings finally started rooting and has put out many lovely root in their small container <3 Also the gift Epis I got from Mattlandscape rooted and they have both got a flower on their top.



Around 3 days earlier, I started seeing something at one of the nodes on the American Beauties, and I got so excited thinking it was the start of a new shoot, but now I'm not so sure.
This is a flower bud, isn't it?



I'm pretty sure my plants are happy, since they get around 6-8 hours of sun from my windowsill

Thanks Fyliu, I also hope I'll get succes with them as it's my first time trying to grow something like this

All I know is that the fresher the seeds, the faster germination. But hopefully I can buy a cutting later on, since Denmark is a zone 8 and there cant be found any dragonfruit plants down here.
