Curious, if anyone here is growing dragon fruit? I was given a very long cutting this past summer from my landlord, and I have it inside for the winter, since I am in Northeast Pennsylvania. What is the best way to support the new growth here?

Maybe you could tie the new growth to another long wooden stick like the one in your picture. I hope this helps!

I also have dragon fruit cacti but mine are so tiny! I agree with the first comment. How old is the mother plant it was cut from? Has it ever given fruit?

Not sure on the mother plants age, but I know it has grown fruit. My landlord gave it to me with a small bud on it. It flowered and was starting to grow a fruit but it never developed I think she cut it too late in the summer and it had just enough energy flower and start a fruit (maybe this year)
