you should cut all new side growth to promote upwards growth. Once they get 4-6 ft you are supposed to cut the top off 3-6 inches this promotes the branching out at the top.

first I've heard of them. Suppose they won't grow in Ohio?

ohio yes but you have to take them in when temp go below 40. you can plant them in 15 gallon pots (2-4 per pot) with a good rich draining soil
if you make a sturdy trellis for it you can easily move it indoors for winter

I started three cutting this year. White, red and pink. I hope to see some fruit next year since I love Dragonfruit and they we're almost four dollars apiece this year.

Thought I would post what my dragon fruit plants look like now. About 8-9 months since I posted pictures here last time.

Here we go

Do you guys suggest I should pot them up? I have no idea how sturdy those stems and roots are so a bit afraid of touching them, was thinking I would let them get a bit bigger first.

mine are currently looking like these now. slow growth. haha. gotta love dragonfruits. cant be sure what type i'm growing though cos i bought the fruit from the store and decided to plant the seeds. guess i have a long wait in front of me.
