Dragon fruit update, Feb 2019

This morning I noticed some red buds on the arms of the plant. I'm not sure if it will produce red fruit or yellow. The latter is apparently the sweetest of the type. I need to get these fruits strung along a few wires.



Here's a series of photos of the fruiting cycle of this plant:

3 March 2019 - latest pic - desperately needs staking!


15 July, 2019 - this poor plant has been moved from pillar-to-post. I am going to try to propagate it in a new pot soon. I am also giving cuttings away for free on Facebook Marketplace.
