Comments (3)i just purchased a rooted 4inch cutting of the yellow variety dragon fruit b/c i heard they're fruit is much sweeter, is this true or is this just another gimic. i am also wondering how long it will take to bear fruit. I will be growing this indoors by a window because i live in pennsylvania, i will also be setting up a growing light,is there a specific setup i should use? I heard that the yellow varieties are self fertile and set fruit on their own, this is especially important because it will be grown indoors, is that true. I bought it online and i cannot get any info out of the person i bought it from. This is my first fruit plant that i am trying to grow and any help that you could give to help this experiance be a pleasurable one will be greatly appreciated. Thank You...See MorePictorial progress of dragon fruit plantings.
Comments (30)Wow, your dragon fruit looks great. I have a question does new dragon fruit cutting go temporarily dormant in the cooler months? I got some cutting off ebay in October and it hasn't even rooted yet(Dec), the cutting have gone bright green to a yellow green and the cutting has also shrunk a bit in thickness. What is wrong why aren't the cutting rooting yet? I have email the ebay seller I got it from and he said that in colder months they will go dormant, then start rooting again in spring. Have you had experience like these for new cuttings? In the first picture with the fruits, is that a cherimoya on the right? I saw on another post you said that you're from Fresno, well so am I. I have some cherimoya seedling going now and I want to plant some in ground and leave some in pots. How has your cherimoya plant been handling this Fresno winter? Sorry, you can disregard the cherimoya question if that isn't a cherimoya....See MoreCan I get several cuttings from this single dragon fruit plant?
Comments (8)It could be dried out, but sometimes it is corking - a natural process when the older stems brown up. When you take it out of the pot, you may be able to see better and see if there are any roots. I would think that if dead, any segment should grow, these are such vigorous growers. I think in your climate you could grow them in ground? - that may be best if you can, they need a long warm growing season to produce fruit. See and read -here- and -also here- and little about container growing-on this page- and see this potted 'farm' -click on me-...See MoreKarim Rayes
