Amazing Epiphytes

The hylocereus cacti are amazing.  My Wellspring dragon fruit has grown about 1.5 inches in a week.  It spontaneously grew two air roots after I began to wonder why my pitayas were not producing air roots as plentiful as scientists indicate.  The side that produced the roots is adjunct to a wooden post.  I got so excited that I positioned my other plants to lean against the posts, hoping they will quickly sprout roots to speed up the growth rate.

I began to despair about my new cuttings,  hoping they would not require 3 to 4 months to establish roots and begin growing.  Today I noticed a light green nodule has cracked through the scar crust at the tip of thr Physical Graffiti.  I can't believe the cutting is showing signs of growth only ten days after I received it.  I hope the Delight gets on the bandwagon soon.
