Well done sir

Fantastic!

[@keshabbabukoirala6705]

Thank you so much for useful information.

Great video with lots of info thanks. Do these plants need to be watered or not when during the winter dormant stage?

[@cactiman3282]

Good question! It depends on your climate, but here in Southern California, I just let the winter storms do all the watering.

[@leewatson3688]

@@cactiman3282 That's understandable. So I take it if plants are in greenhouse where under shelter that to continue watering but obviously not leaving roots left wet

What I've noticed is when the plant is fruiting, it intakes a bit more water. Being in SB county as well, my fruit is doing great with past month's weather(rain fall and hot temps).

Do you grow four(1 on each side of the post) per pot?

[@cactiman3282]

Yes sir! I grow one variety per side of the trellis, so 4 different plants per pot.

Does dragon fruit only start flowering when the branches grow down/around the trellis ? The downwards growth makes it flower?

[@cactiman3282]

Dragon fruit grow flowers when they have enough vegetative growth, so the more your dragon fruit weighs, the higher the chances of getting flowers. Other factors are involved, and it is possible to have flowers on very small plants, but vegetative mass is generally the most important factor. 🐉

4 galons for a single pot? isn't that too much?

[@cactiman3282]

No amount of water, as a single factor, is too much. What usually causes problems is for the soil to be too wet for too long. I found at the time that 4 gallons for my 20 gallon pot every 3 weeks or so was perfect for me. Happy growing 🐲
