Great video. Two questions for you: 1. How do we distinguish between a safe amount of yellowing, and sun burn that will damage the plant? How do you decide “okay, this one needs burlap”? 2. How does Vietnam White generally do? Is it a variety that benefits from shade?

How does Dragon fruit grow naturally out in nature? Isn't its native habitat Tropical organic rich soil? I think the issue with Dragon fruit rotting in Compost rich soil is due to the cold weather and excess water combination that it would never experience in it's natural warm climate. If you can control the amount of water the Dragon fruit receives during the cold months like in a greenhouse setting so the watering can be cut way back, I would think that compost rich soil is actually the most ideal nutrient rich medium to grow it in. That's what I'm doing and they are thriving, no need to fertilize as good compost contains all the nutrients needed. But if the Dragon fruit plants are outside where it's cold and wet during winter that makes sense to not use compost rich soil.

Sprayed some of that IV Organic plant guard on my trellises today. Noticed a little bit of sun stress, and I haven't applied that stuff in a while. Hopefully it'll be a nice balance, between not getting burned and also getting enough sunlight.

I did my whole set of dragons and they still get burned even with the plant guard it’s good to spray it on and not paint cuz the green flesh needs to photosynthesis but after spraying mine and burlap I think burlap is better problem with the burlap is it distripts new growth and building a shade structure don’t work for me cuz where I live it’s always so very windy hope this helps

So what is the reasoning for the bottomless pots? Is that so that you can easily distribute fertilizer in a guaranteed area where the plant will recieve it, and so the roots can spread and absorb additional moisture from the ground?
