I planted yellow dragon fruit seeds and then this happened

I'm working on my click-bait text writing skills.

Anyway, it's true, I planted seeds from a store-bought yellow dragon fruit (which was delicious), and then this happened:

The question is, will these fruit and when??

They will fruit in 3-5 years. 

Seperate them and then train the plant to be 1 stem.

I have fruited yellow pitaya from seed in 3 years.  I would use an epiphyte medium like coconut fiber and you might use a orchid foliar spray at half strength.

Thanks, Peter, I'll try your suggestions. I'm guessing the fruit was good? Thanks!

You can try to graft on pitahaya (Hylocereus undatus). If you succeed you will get fruits in two years
