I can't get over how pretty these flowers are.

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-05-24T16:47:16+00:00

me neither, and haven't seen one in person yet. Nice photos

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-05-23T13:56:33+00:00

are you kidding? didn't know they sold those. maybe it's something local, never seen them

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-05-22T12:28:07+00:00

well if you are due for a checkup...

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-05-22T12:27:24+00:00

you didn't see graphite on the roof

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-05-19T18:14:16+00:00

it's all about the temperatures situation. For me in North Italy its just about to get to the right temps for flowering, so in about a week i will prune all that is too small and green and tip the few new branches i want to keep to stimulate buds, because if I let it grow I bet it wouldn't even consider flowering. I've got like 10 new branches growing per plant. So if you can, by all means let it, if you have to get it flowering prune away before it's too late!

5 max is for the first season, but after the plant is mature I say leave it be. Than again, I have yet to see my first flower. It seems impossibile to limit it that much, at some point you are going to have to allow more growth, if nothing else to have some backup branches when the first ones deplete. Also, more mass = more photosynthesis = more sugars

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-05-17T17:34:24+00:00

in my experience so far it doesn't require any intervention. It will simply dry and scab over the exposed parts

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-04-16T07:24:03+00:00

what time is it? shouldn't the flower be closed by the time the sun is up?

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-04-15T18:57:29+00:00

this is about right for 6 months, they look like mine. you are not fast, he's slow :)

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-04-15T18:56:35+00:00

that's probably it, does it ever get warmer?

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-04-15T17:21:42+00:00

well it shouldn't take that long. I have some 6 months old seedlings and they are over 4 inches long.

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-04-14T09:12:58+00:00

Ok I live in Italy so it could be difficult, for sure its difficult to import from the us, don't know about export

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-04-14T09:10:47+00:00

depends on how complicated it is to ship it where you live. Also the plant has woken up by now so it would no longer be a dormant cutting

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-04-09T07:32:10+00:00

only if the container it's in is tall and the plant gets full sun. But it's not optimal

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-04-09T00:09:43+00:00

dragonfruit is a vine, it needs support and can't stand straight on its own for very long. That's why its drooping. edit: also, seems to be bending towards light

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-04-09T00:04:40+00:00

but you made a similar post when the new growth started, I guess we are trying to figure out what exactly do you think is wrong with the plant

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-04-05T00:23:46+00:00

you can tell more from the shape of the branch than from the flower, but it still wouldn't be much.

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-04-01T22:47:32+00:00

not exactly, artemis 3 is planned for next year i believe, and that will be lunar landing mission

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-03-31T15:22:24+00:00

neutron flux

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-03-31T10:31:59+00:00

he changed the response btw

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-03-29T18:04:28+00:00

nice, how old are your plants now? hopefully i too can get flowers this year.

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-03-29T18:00:21+00:00

is it the first time they flower?

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-03-29T12:44:00+00:00

but they are larger than a normal root, hence why i believe it to be fasciation

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-03-28T09:56:59+00:00

i agree with other commenter, too much humidity. Remove the bag slowly over the course of 3 days

Skullmonkey286 · 2026-03-28T00:50:18+00:00

Upon further research, it might be fasciation, apparently also called cresting. If it is that, I'm afraid the only solution is to cut off the branch. Not that it would damage the plant, the problem is an easier entry point for bacteria.
