Dragon fruit cactus growing in the UK | Diary of a Yorkshire Gardener

Look at those new shoots!! 😍🌵

I’m beyond excited to see these, and they’re growing so quickly too!

I got it as a small rooted cutting as a gift from @ian after killing the one I bought off Etsy and then failing at germinating any seeds 😩

It’s been living happily in the greenhouse through summer and I’m going to bring it in the house for winter. I’m starting to think about giving it better support and a new, bigger pot 🪴

This week I’ll be taking off one of the new shoots to try root another! 🌵

I haven’t watered it much (probably still a tad too much going by the algae) and to be honest have pretty much left it alone.

Do we think I’ll ever get fruit or just a fancy houseplant? 🤭🌵
