Excellent video!!!! Thank you for sharing all that info! Those flowers are gorgeous!

Thanks for the tips. There’s nothing wrong with using synthetic fertilizer. The plants can’t tell the difference between synthetic and organic. All it see is n.p.k and minerals. The only difference is organic feeds the soil microbes which feeds the plant and synthetics is like instant steroids for the plants which is instantly available. Anyways. Thanks for all the top notch info on growing dragon fruit

As you I don`t care anymore if people become aggressive and or call me cheater. From Orchids to Monster Physalis or Passion fruit vines: Just use the Marry-Don`t-You-Anna fertilizer your local hippie uses for flower induction and mass production. Of course adjust the amount of fertilizer for the specific plant. But underground or mass production - some things work because of physics, chemistry, biology and more. Just because one does not understand it, IT STILL WORKS. And plants love THEIR food.

Try watering them and mulch the top soil. If your soil is well draining enough it doesn't matter. I live in the tropics with hot humid days (afternoon temperatures of 35 degrees celsius with 85% or more humidity under the Sun) and heavy thunderstorms during the monsoon season, and my dragonfruit plants are doing well in their pots exposed to the elements. I use a mix of fertilizer pellets and homemade vermicompost as fertilizer and I mulch the soil with coconut husk chips.
