So happy you love the wonderful fruit on this Cactus Michele :-D it was so amazing to harvest such a big fruit pod

Hi Lynnie! Such beautiful looking fruit! It's almost like a mini dragon fruit like you said. It's so fantastic that you take the take to pollinate, harvest and share the seeds with gardeners Lynn, what an absolutely fantastic way to encourage more green thumbs! Besides that gal has such beautiful blooms! Thank you for sharing this exciting video with us Lynn! From the garden city of India to the Emerald Isle, may you and Hans have a beautiful weekend! Cheerio Lynnie!!!

The seed pods are huge on this cactus I agree Daz and thats a shame that the fruit was not that tasty when you tried the fruit on yours, I have tried some cactus fruit that can be a bit bitter too LOL! :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and Hans and I are sending you and Edith an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a marvellous Monday XXXXX

Nice harvest!!!! I've not tasted these before, have tried many others . when I was in California it was easy to find " Peruvian apples" which come from cereus peruvianus and large ceri types. They also taste much like Dragon fruit and about the same size with white pulp. The Beahm varieties are well known in California , I have a large old book from them I used to use when I worked at live oak gardens years ago. From Morris park in the Ozarks to across the Emerald isle have a great weekend!!!!!

Hi again from the Peach State! 😊 Wow... that's a beautiful fruit! ❤ It's really big (deep vibrant pinks/fuchsia are my fav colors). 😊 I was wondering if you'd ever eaten them right before you said that you had. It's good to know they're delicious. I've never eaten cactus fruit but I have eaten prickly pear leaves that my friend prepared in a Mexican stir-fry dish. It was really good! I'm anxious to plant my harvested seeds in the spring. I learn so much from you. As always, thanks so much for sharing and have a great weekend! 😊

Hi! I love your videos! I was wondering, can the Epiphyllum oxypetalum plant live in Dubai? Our temperates range from 30-50 degrees C Its quite hot LOL. I want to add Epiphyllum plants to my garden but I'm afraid if it'll be a waste of time due to the heat.

@desertplantsofavalon

Жыл бұрын

So happy you love my videos :-D yes you can grow Epiphyllum oxypetalum in Dubai with the hot temps as long as you can provide the cactus with a shady position that is away from direct sun, they can take the heat as long as there is plenty of shade and ventilation and a position under a tree in the shade is best, these plants can struggle if they are grown in direct sun in hot temps, but can grow well if they can be given shade and ventilation when the temperatures are hot, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX

Could you use the pollen from an Epiphyllum oxypetalum to pollinate a dragon fruit variety?

@desertplantsofavalon

Hi Phat :-D some Epiphyllums can be crossed with Dragon fruit varieties, but I think the oxypetalum is a bit more difficult to cross pollinate, but its definitely worth a try, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week ahead XXXXX

Thats amazing that your Queen of the night had 157 flowers, that must have been so beautiful to see, I have noticed that my Queen of the night strangely doesn't produce fruits either even though most of my other Epiphyllums do, I have heard that some of the Queen of the nights have to be cross pollinated with two different plants of Queen of the night as some of them are self sterile, I have tried to pollinate my Queen of the night with a little brush and dabbing the pollen onto the different flowers on the plant but still have not had any fruits, thanks so much Thamara for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
