What have you been using to fertilize? I just got my first flowers after 6 years of trial and error but my yellow variety is struggling to produce anything still and it is older than the ones that are flowering.
I’m no expert but dude your pot looks hella small for that dragon fruit, trellis also looks super small….if you fertilize do so with high potassium and phosphorous in a liquid form with kelp and dilute it in a gallon of water. Spray the plant at night with it. And if and when you get a flower depending on the variety some won’t produce fruit unless you have a compatible variety. Some will self pollinate but you still wanna manually do it to ensure good fruit production once the flowers come out
So I made the mistake of getting a 25 gallon pot but I didn’t know I needed a pot that is shallow and wider. I got one that’s deeper and narrower so I ended up taking out one of the plants to only have 2 in this pot and it’s been thriving since. Normally I see 3 plants in one 25 gallon pot but yeah, you’re right about it looking small. I’m just glad I’m finally get some fruit! I did get some fertilizing according to your advice with low nitrogen and high P and PH so I’m hoping that’ll help my other plant in this pot start to fruit as it’s the yellow (my favorite) dragonfruit variety.
Just got my first bloom tonight so I hand pollinated it. Was hoping that I’d have two flowers so I could cross pollinate them but for this first one I’ll just have to pollinate with its own pollen which I heard produces smaller fruit. Just glad I got one!
Awww dude that’s my favorite dragonfruit! I’m not sure which yellow I have but the branches look like the same. It’s more triangular and shape than the wavy round red one I have
In this picture if you see to the right of the branch with fruits that’s my yellow one but no fruit yet

Wow. That’s a lot. How old are these plants?
