      @TexasDragonFruit 23 дня назад

      Where are you from. If your weather is warm or hot they will not stop growing. Are they in ground or in pots, can you control the amount of water they get. Normally all plant will slow down growth during the colder months. I can recommend that you spray fungicide on them after it rains to protect them from rust. If they are in ground plant them in soil mound to allow the roots to be above any flooding to prevent Root rot. Hope this help. Feel free to ask any questions. Thank you.

      I credit my plant growth to the potting mix. I have been using our cattle hay dump piles of composted cow manure that has been composting for years. It has lots of sandy soil. I have only fed my plants once or twice since I potted them in the large pots. My new plants get about 4 oz. of 10-10-10 or 13-13-13 time release on the edge of the pots. This has helped with growth. Good luck and thank you for supporting us.

      There are many reasons flower fruit buds fall. Plant health, fertilization, clustered plants, youth of plants, Insects, heat, watering just so many reasons. Your plants want to survive and will drop as many flowers as needed to continue to grow. So keep an eye on feeding and watering them during budding. good luck.

    • @TexasDragonFruit
      @TexasDragonFruit Месяц назад

      Jacqueline, I hope I can help. Have you pruned your plant. During the end of your colder season is best, If you can cut some of the tips on the older branches, this will help promote new branches or buds. You want them to hang over and downwards. Nitrogen deficiency can cause also slow growth, and a lack of phosphorus can hinder flower production. Good luck and I hope this helps and Thank you.

    What do you feed your dragon fruit

    • @TexasDragonFruit
      @TexasDragonFruit Месяц назад

      I feed them very little fertilizer as they are in a high composted cow manure potting mix. So I know urea is high at this point and I feed little phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) to promote budding as well. So I could say a formula of 13-13-13 but not much like half a cup around the outer base of the pot once every 90 days. You need to feed on your plants needs, I have new soil in my pots that has high urea so watch your urea amounts. If its growing fast add more phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) to help promote buds. Good luck, and Thank You.

  • @omegoa
    @omegoa Месяц назад

    Yes, that bit about the branches getting too heavy and breaking near the top of the trellis at the inflection point is why tipping is recommended. That and the fact that from the cut, multiple new branches will grow. One thing that might be helpful is to not have a sharp edge on the trellis top. I'm just thinking if there's a way to provide a smoother, rounder surface when the branch turns downward. I don't really have any great ideas, but that may also be why some people use old motorcycle tires.

    • @TexasDragonFruit

    @geeyoupee 2 месяца назад

    I've tried both. I think prefer tipping because you can let it grow a few inches above the trellis then tip. You can tie the main branch closely to the trellis. New branches will grow downward and outwards. When I didn't tip, it would flop over and be branches will start growing upwards and in every direction. It's messier and harder to manage. The canopy would be less uniform. This is more important for people with small yards and have their trellises close to each other. I'm willing to sacrifice earlier fruit for better branch structure. Plus the plant can focus on growth for that year if they don't produce fruit.

    • @TexasDragonFruit
      @TexasDragonFruit 2 месяца назад

      Thank you for commenting, There are so many options, I dont disagree with you. It's what ever works best for your needs. I am letting people know that Its an option they have and letting them know that it will sprout new branched even if they dont tip. For me no tipping has worked best, till the branch is finished sprouting new branches.
