Hi! My dragon fruit is really on its own journey and I can’t figure out how to help him :( His trunk won’t grow but he LOVES his lil crazy arms… Should I just let him do his thing, prune him, unstake him, propagate him??? Any ideas would be great.
I wish I could help I only grow houseplants :(

A bit further along
Thank you SO much! Imma try this.
0 likesIn the wild, dragonfruit grows as an epiphyte and climbs/hangs down from trees. So you can use a sturdy stake to train it into a tree as TKBaha showed, or treat it as you would a dendrobium anosmum and let it drape off a hanging mount. Or keep it small with pruning and propagating
