I don't know much about prickly pear but I do know that dragon do not like it wet or too dry its hard to say why they do it I keep mine on the moist side. do you have your dragon in a pot or is it in the ground I keep mine in pots but every 2/3 years repot them or when the grow to big for the pot mine fruit best every other year. one year the give little fruit or they fall off and the next the give me fruit enough to keep me happy I have a yellow and a red dragon the yellow is still small so I don't think it will fruit for a few years

I have a Dragon Fruit plant that is in a pot. It's about 3 ft tall. I noticed that one of the 'leaves' is turning yellow and has orange coloring on it. Almost the entire stem is that way. It is not aphids, as it does not wipe off. It is inside the leaf. Could this be rust? What can I do to save the entire plant?

gardenbear1 do you keep your dragon fruit cactus inside during the winter? How tall is yours? How tall till they are blooming size? I want to grow one but finding information has been hard. Everything and everyone says you have to live in Florida or you are wasting your time. I am in love with the blooms. Thanks
