#DragonfruitRepair #Dragonfruit #plants #gardening
well, the segment i "fixed" last week has started to get rot elsewhere. any area that starts to turn yellow & brown will turn to rot.
i broke off the segment and planted it (set it down against a pallet) in a sunny spot. i put it away from any other dragonfruits so it doesn't spread the sickness. maybe it'll make it... but even if it dies, hopefully the rest of the plant will be ok.
sometimes dragonfruit plants get The Rot. it spreads & liquifies the plant. pic 1 shows a pretty bad case of rot.
i've seen different suggestions for fixing it, but the one that seems to work is to scoop out all the rot w/your bare hand.
i did that, washed it with soap/water (like a wound) & it dried up within a day. (see pic 2.)
i'll monitor this section for more rot. if it repeats, i might split this section off.
