My Dragon Fruit plant is 1 month old and budding, is this normal?
Comments (1)I'm not sure what you mean by budding. Do you mean you have a cutting that is putting on new growth? If so that's my experience. I'm also a novice dragon fruit grower. I got four cuttings off ebay early this summer and three of them rooted and began putting on new growth very rapidly, like within two weeks, though the fourth took a couple of months. Mine are now in what I hope is a permanent pot with a support and are outdoors in full sun. I think they like a moderate amount of water, being jungle, not desert, cactus, but need well drained soil. I water mine if we haven't had rain for a couple of days. Here is a link that might be useful: Helpful Dragon Fruit Site...See MoreLeggy tomato plants at 1 month
Comments (11)you can cut them and root them. from my experience, leggy plants just end up being weak no matter what later on. they will never reach their full potential. so depending how leggy they really are, you could always cut the stem and root the top portion and you'll end up with a much stronger plant if you provide adequate lighting. keep in mind the fluorescents also have to be very close to the plants.. if they are T5 HO then 4-6 inches.. anything else, 2-3 inches above the plants with some air flow from a fan....See More1 month old Obesum and yellow leaves
Comments (9)Look wonderful, Cathy. The cotyledon leaves (which yours where) are meant to fall off and will go yellow. I usually start to evaluate things when I notice Yellowing starting on the upper most leaves of the plants. Beautiful leaves and healthy. I mist my plants in the summer, not winter months. Usually mist them when they are outside in the early morning. The moisture on the leaves is not usually problematic unless they are receiving high sunlight right afterwards or are under strong light from artificial lights. Good growing.

Comments (27)Agartta, ha ha you crack me up. I was going to say “it’s not how big it is.............. Maria Elena, No, I had no issues with growth last year. The larger plant with the seed pod in the photo above was one of our own seeds we grew through our Winter and even with the cold, those seedlings still grew well. Our growing season this year started with heatwave conditions from the get go. The tiny seedling and the 4 varieties planted at the same time, (Rinoa’s seed) grew very slow from the beginning. (All four different varieties behaved the same.) Our babies had to adapt quickly to the heat, but I believe this is what slowed them from the beginning. As for fertiliser - we don’t fertilise our babies regularly, they usually get enough nutrients from the soil mix. But, as these grew slower, we did supplement them occasionally with a little fertiliser, (one with a slightly higher nitrogen content). Fertiliser did not seem to help with growth. We do also, feed all our babies with seaweed solution (seasol) while they are small. As for whether it harms the baby flowering early, I don’t know, but I will let you know if I notice anything different with this one. I agree that it takes a lot of energy from the plant to flower, as it also does for growing seed pods. But, I am sooo curious to see if this little one can flower....so fingers crossed. :) Here’s a photo of the seed/variety this little one is from. (Rinoa’s photo)...See Morethatsingernamedleeza
