Should I do anything w these dragon fruit plants? Someone was selling three plants, a plant stand, grow lights, and the pots for the plants for $20 on FB marketplace. That is how I acquired a very leggy pair of dragon fruit succulents. What are the white hairs all over it? Should I do any pruning?

Is this a root? Itās coming from where the new growth is starting. Itās a Dragon fruit cactus. I circled what I am talking about

A few weeks ago, I did an experiment. It was growing yellow dragonfruits in both water, soil, and in a tissue inside a plastic bag. The results: Soil took just a little more than a week to see a sprout. Super fast! They started sprouting around the time the ones in the tissue had started cracking the seed hull. And for the water? I saw a little root sprout, but it didn't grow other than that. From now on, I will be growing dragons in soil! Anyway, I was checking my dragonfruit seedlings today, and I noticed that one seedling had 3 leaves! It's so weird, but I love it. I also saw this little other seedling in the dragon pit, and when I say little, I mean LITTLE! Does anyone know what it could be? #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #newgrowth #dragonfruit #germination #seedlings #succulentlove

Just a lil appreciation post for my #DragonFruit seedlingsš„° I started these from seed in May, and although theyāve severely slowed down their growth for the winter theyāre still going strong. This guy has clearly always been the strongest of the bunch, and has decided to further prove it by popping out another limb!! Iāve never seen one do that at this size, is this even normal? Either way, Iām beyond proud of his accomplishment and like to think he is tooš¤©

SOS Zig Zag cactus: so all plants think had spider mite infestation. Repotted and watered when I did it. Well-draining soil theoretically (tropical + perlite). Then got root rot. Tried to cut it off. Then I swirled them in H2O2 and water. Canāt remember if I let them callous, but I replanted, and they seem to be getting worse. Took them out just now and put them in a glass of water. Donāt know what to do with them now! #plantrescue #help #Dyingplant #RootRot #CactusClique

How do I unclutter these? Yo! My dragonfruit is sprouting like crazy. But for some reason most of them sprouted in the middle, even though I tried to spread the seeds evenly. How should I unclutter them? They seem really fragileš¤ #HylocereusUndatus
