JohnMc1 says... In contrast to ive (sorry ive),I tend to keep mine well watered, they are a rainforest vine after all. At that young stage you could throw any fertilizer you have in the shed on it to get it bulked up, don't overdo it. If this is the first time you've grown a dragon fruit plant, remember to remove all side shoots as it grows up to the top of a 4ft pole then let it hang over and then let it do it's thang. All those side shoots can be easily propagated. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 18th November 2014 8:53pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Hi Thithi The large Viet Dragonfruits are commercially cultivated in Vietnam mostly along the South Central coast around Phan Thiet - I'm sure you know it. There they are grown in extensive areas of dry sand near the beach and are never watered and I guess it only rains in the wet season. I would imagine that the sand has a high salt content as well being right next to the beach. So "dry" and "sandy" in full sun would seem what these type of dragon fruits like the best.

Thithi says... The red spot seem to stop spreading atm. I think I wait for the side growth to develop before I cut it off. Thanks sternus. Btw, do you think star Apple like full sun? The juicy pearl has not recovered from the transport trip yet. My other star Apple haitian lost half of its leaves since I got it fr Daley approx 1m ago. Not sure why? | About the Author Thithi MELBOURNE,0,NT 5th December 2014 10:56pm #UserID: 10139 Posts: 193 View All Thithi's Edible Fruit Trees |

MIke T1 says... I just plucked a few whopping Colombian reds this morning as well as 30kg of Bowens from the park around the corner from me.I must be the biggest plucker around.Colombians are very respectable.Today I have to plant seeds of the giant round Ecuadorian S.megalanthus which must be a different species. | About the Author MIke T1 cairns 6th December 2014 9:40am #UserID: 10744 Posts: 250 View All MIke T1's Edible Fruit Trees |
