Dragon fruit branches are too flat.
« on: July 24, 2020, 02:00:58 PM »
My potted DF are all putting out lots of branches, but they're kinda flat and not plump like they're supposed to be. Soil is moist a few inches below the surface.  I'm  thinking of drenching the pots (30 gallon) daily,  but will have to watch out for overwatering. Are flat branches indicative of not enough  water? I use Fox Farms potting soil, these were potted about 6 months ago,  so there should still be enough fertilizers in there.  I can add some Osmocote Plus if you think it's a fertilizer deficiency.
Thanks!

Picture and variety will help to know if it's normal

They're VN White, and Physical Grafitti . The thing is,  the trunks are normal looking, but the branches up top are not, at least not to me. Maybe they just need time.
Thanks,
