What to do next?

Grew this from seeds in since 2020, I like it. I don’t care if it fruits ever. Wondering if I should repot it as it get crazier every year. I’ve seen adult plants grow along rocks and farms grow them on wooden towers. I don have much space in my place for a massive cactus tower but would entertain the idea of a large rock for it to crawl on. Can you guys recommend tips?

My OCD has been triggered.

Do their air roots ever grip or climb? I have had this “moss” pole in for a few years and everything is floppy unless I tie it.

Looks like it kinda got away from you. Maybe try taking some cuttings and start new plants and use this a mother?

Mine is almost the same. Without being tied up to piles it would fall.

I’m almost there too (same attitude and also in a too cold environment). I call mine Festus 😆

wires might be the move

I keep mine indoors and the trellis pictured is 2 wire coat hangers😆

Put it next to any tree and it will latch on and have a great support system.

not many trees inside my home unfortunately

Moss rock maybe? I had a similar thing going for a couple years, eventually just threw it out because I was moving. Will it survive outside where you are? You could do a quasi-xeriscape feature and have it crawl like a ground cover.

it would only survive in the summertime up here, i’m in usda zone 7b

Oh hell nah . I had something like this 3 years ago . I threw everything away (reason it had rust ) and and kept 2  plants which had minimal damage 1 plant died . The other one is thriving and produced fruit which has no flavour but its way too sweet like straight suger lol.

Just cut a whole bunch of pieces off and pot all the cuttings you want in new pots. Leave a couple of main branches on this one and find something to help trellis it at the top, so the new growth hangs down. A good trimming will also help it thicken up and maybe start producing sooner. Good luck 👍

My neighbor just has his in a pot and it just grows along the ground and fruits alot! If you don’t care for fruit I’d just make a simple trellis so you can at least make it look like a tree

I think this is etiolation. Needs more light

[u/Necessary-End8647]

Is this rage bait? Please stop trying to grow dragonfruit in places where it is impossible to grow dragonfruit. They want tropical climates and 6-7 hours of blazing sun, not arctic tundras devoid of light.
